Frequently asked questions

How is this list ranked?

On the total grade: safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and how the area works out for families, each counting equally. The grade is the neighbourhood's national position on that mix, not the average of the separate grades.

Why is Geest at the top?

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.
