Frequently asked questions
Is Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid comes out at 48 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid?
In Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid the police recorded 80 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (48 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid calculated?
Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid scores 2.7 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
