Owners' origin - Real estate companies corresponds to the dataset describing the origin of the legal persons engaged in real estate activities (section L of the NACE-BEL 2008 nomenclature) that are holders of real rights over immovable properties located in Belgium according to the municipality of their headquarters for legal persons settled in Belgium and according to the country or territory of their headquarters for foreign legal persons. This dataset is made up of seven classes. The first class shows, at national level, for each type of property, the total number of parcels, the number of parcels held by holders from each Belgian municipality and the number of parcels held by holders from each country or territory. The number of parcels takes into account the shares actually held. The second class shows this information at the level of the three regions. The following classes do the same at the level of provinces, arrondissements, municipalities, land register divisions and statistical sectors. The dataset is freely downloadable, in the form of zipped CSV files.

Settlement area is defined here in terms of land use. Settelement area is the space occupy to live, work, relax and move around. This includes everything that seals the soil but also includes various forms of non-paved green space, such as gardens and parks or sports grounds and these are therefore not counted as open space. These indicators show the total settelement area expressed in m² and the part of the settlement area in relation to the total area per administrative entity (region, province, district and municipality) for Flanders.

Gridded observational data provides an estimate of the spatial distribution of a meteorological variable based on observations. While instrumental measurements are taken at irregularly distributed stations, gridded data represents the meteorological variable on a predefined regular grid. Gridded observational data is of strong benefit in disciplines applying distributed quantitative models to examine the influence of weather and climate. Gridded data are also very convenient to provide estimations for any specific location of interest for the user. Gridded observational data covering Belgium at a spatial resolution of 5 km (= 1360 pixels) are available for several variables (precipitations, air temperature, sunshine duration, solar radiation, relative humidity and wind speed) as well as different temporal resolutions (daily, monthly, seasonal, annual values as well as long-term climate averages). The gridded database starts in 1961 for most variables and is updated each day with the available observations of the previous day. All grids are then updated for archiving as soon as the data quality control is completed. In addition to the 5km x 5km grids, spatial averages for all each Belgian municipality are also available. This product is not publically available yet. The daily gridded climate data are available for academic profiles after registration on our open data website.

Notifications of the cadastral income corresponds to the dataset describing the new cadastral incomes of property located in Belgium that has been notified to the taxpayer.

The first class includes, at national level, by fiscal status, by nature of cadastral income and by category of motivations, the number of cadastral incomes notified, the total amount of cadastral incomes notified, the median cadastral income notified, the 25th and 75th percentiles of cadastral incomes notified and the standard deviation of cadastral incomes notified. The second class includes this information at the level of the three regions. The following classes do the same at the level of provinces, arrondissements, municipalities, cadastral divisions and statistical sectors. The dataset can be freely downloaded as a zipped CSV.

Foreign real estate - Property characteristics corresponds to the dataset of foreign real estate held by belgian taxpayers as declared to the FPS Finance (only the holders of rights allowing the enjoyment of the property are taken into account). This dataset consists of one class. This class includes, for each foreign country or territory, the number of properties in each category, the total cadastral income of these properties, the median cadastral income of each category, as well as the 25 and 75 percentiles of the cadastral income of each category.

The areas not included in the settelement area considered to be categories of open space. However, open space should not be confused with green or undeveloped space. The settelement area also includes various forms of non-paved green space, such as gardens and parks or sports grounds and these are counted as developed area. These indicators show the total area of open space expressed in m² en de part of open area in relation to the total surface per administrative unit (region, province, district and municipality) for Flanders.

Share of the cadastral surface area that is artificially developed in the cadastral surface area and not unknown to the administrative entity (region, province, district and municipality) for Wallonia

Characteristics of cadastral parcels - Concentration of cadastral income corresponds to the dataset measuring the concentration of cadastral income for parcels of a housing-like nature. This dataset is composed of seven classes. The first class shows, at the national level, for each category of parcels dedicated to housing, the number of parcels and the total cadastral income of the parcels by cadastral income bracket. The second class includes this information at the level of the three regions. The following classes do the same at the level of provinces, arrondissements, municipalities, cadastral divisions and statistical sectors. The dataset can be freely downloaded as a zipped CSV.

The last class includes this information at the level of the countries for the legal entities which are not settled in Belgium but wich are nevertheless reigstred at the Carrefour Banque of the Entreprises.
