Dijk en Waard, Municipality in North Holland, Netherlands.

Dijk en Waard extends across 67 square kilometers of land and water, containing 16 population centers including the town of Heerhugowaard.

The municipality emerged on January 1, 2022, through the consolidation of Heerhugowaard and Langedijk municipalities, marking a new chapter in local governance.

The municipality maintains 37,459 residential properties, where 71 percent of inhabitants own their homes, reflecting the Dutch preference for property ownership.

Residents benefit from an average distance of one kilometer to medical services, with general practitioners distributed throughout the municipality's neighborhoods.

The territory sits three meters below sea level, protected by an intricate system of polders that transformed former lakes into agricultural land.
