Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics Public Datasets - LEGACY (Archives & Longitudinal Series)

This listing provides a high- fidelity mirror of the **CBS (Statistics Netherlands) Historical Archive**. This share is focused on the **LEGACY schema**, a curated collection of historical and longitudinal datasets ensuring optimal query performance and organized discovery. This listing provides access to over **500 million data points** across **655 tables**, covering everything from 19th-century demographics to long-term inflation indices updated as recently as this morning. We preserve 40-year trend lines by decoding the CBS ID taxonomy. If a dataset started in the 1980s but receives vital updates in 2026, we maintain it here in the **LEGACY** schema. This prevents trend-line breaks, allowing researchers and AI models to analyze unbroken historical sequences from labor market shifts to demographic evolution without the recency bias of shorter datasets.
