About the numbers
The figures come from Statistics Netherlands. This institute counted the people who were born in the Netherlands and who were still living here on January 1, 2022. That number equates to just over 15 million people. The actual number of birthdays per city is therefore higher, because the Netherlands has almost 18 million inhabitants.
