The pilot started with statistical data assembled by the Centre for Research
and Statistics of the municipality of Rotterdam. This centre gathers rafts of relevant
statistical data: demographic patterns, ethnicity, types of households,
migration and emigration figures, public health, labor and housing conditions,
welfare related data (average incomes, rents of real estate prices, social provisions,
level of education), and so on. This representative dataset helped us
to place the household studies in an urban context.
