Frequently asked questions
How is this list ranked?
On the safety grade, which comes from crimes recorded by the police in 2025: violence, burglary, total crime, property crime and vandalism. Each figure is set against the number of people present — residents plus three times the number of business premises.
Why is Vliethoven at the top?
Vliethoven scores a 2.7 on this list, with 55 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Eemsdelta 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.
