Why is Poptahof-Noord at the top?
Poptahof-Noord scores a 2.6 on this list, with 59 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Delft that has a grade for this measure.
How often are these figures updated?
The crime figures are from the police for 2025; population, boundaries and the other characteristics come from the CBS neighbourhood statistics for 2025. Both are published once a year; the list is recalculated as soon as a new edition appears.
