Frequently Asked Questions

Core postcode statistics are synced from PDOK's most recent published CBS year. Energy labels are refreshed from RVO's monthly national export. We re-sync periodically as new CBS/RVO data is published.

A moderate or low score usually means one pillar is pulling the average down — e.g. a lot of pre-1970 construction (Structural) or a high rental share (Social). Open the Structural/Social/Liveability tabs to see exactly which underlying metric is driving it.

Yes — postcode statistics and boundaries come from PDOK's CBS Postcode4 API and energy labels from RVO's EP-Online registry, both official Dutch open-data sources. See the Methodology page for details.

No. Every report is free and instant, with no login, no email, and no account required.

CBS publishes basic geographic and demographic fields first and fills in detailed metrics — WOZ values, income, healthcare distances, lifestyle counts — much later. We checked: the most recent year has those detail fields 0% populated, and the year after that doesn't exist in the source yet at all. So we intentionally sync from the most recent complete year rather than the most recent published one, and re-check periodically as new years fill in.

Property listings sell you a house — nice photos, a floor plan, a price. They don't tell you about the neighbourhood: rising damp risk in pre-1970 buildings, a shrinking owner-occupied share, or a burglary rate above the national average. Accomodi exists to surface exactly that, using only public data, before you commit to viewing or bidding.

Funda (and similar sites) list individual properties for sale — Accomodi doesn't list anything. We're not a marketplace and we don't work with sellers or agents. Every postcode gets the same independent, data-driven Neighbourhood Pulse Score whether or not anything there is currently for sale, so you can research an area before a listing even appears.

No. Accomodi has no listings, no commissions, and no relationship with sellers or agents — we only aggregate public government data (CBS, PDOK, RVO, Politie, RIVM, Overheid.nl) into one score. That's what keeps the analysis unbiased.

Yes — completely free. Searching a postcode, comparing two areas, browsing cities, and every full report (Safety breakdown included) are all free, with a fair daily usage limit to keep the service sustainable. No account, no email, nothing to unlock.

Every Dutch postcode (PC4) that CBS publishes statistics for — effectively the whole country. Some very small or sparsely populated postcodes have certain fields suppressed by CBS for privacy; we show that honestly as "no data" rather than guessing.

Every lookup costs us real money in data and hosting, and without a cap a handful of bots or scrapers could soak up capacity meant for actual home buyers. 30 free searches and 10 free comparisons a day is far more than anyone doing genuine research needs, and the count resets every night at midnight.
