How we calculate ↗

Good for children, with a safety question

Fifty-five people live in this neighbourhood by the Josephine Bakerstraat, and that makes every figure about it sensitive: one report or one move shifts it at once. Statistics Netherlands does not publish incomes and social assistance here because there are too few households; the wealth & income pillar therefore leans on property value and vacancy.

The most striking number is the noise. It is a good ten decibels above the national median, and that is exactly why the quiet & nature pillar sticks at a 5.9 while there is more greenery and more tree cover nearby than is usual nationally.

More than two thirds of households have children and everything is within a kilometre; that is where the 9.0 for families comes from.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Bedrijventerrein Josephine Bakerstraat comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Bedrijventerrein Josephine Bakerstraat?

In Bedrijventerrein Josephine Bakerstraat the police recorded 3 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Bedrijventerrein Josephine Bakerstraat calculated?

Bedrijventerrein Josephine Bakerstraat scores 8.9 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 Bedrijventerrein Josephine Bakerstraat lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
