Everything for children close by, and little room
A GP three hundred metres away and a supermarket at four hundred: Faunabuurt Noord has its everyday amenities within reach, and that produces an 8.9. The railway station is further off, but still closer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods.
Against that stands a 3.7 for wealth & income. The rate of social assistance is many times the national median and property value far below it; only vacancy points the other way, at one per cent barely measurable. On safety the picture is unusually sharply divided: burglary is almost absent here and violence stays below the middle, while theft is the only type that rises just above the national median. That keeps the pillar at a 7.6 rather than higher.

Frequently asked questions
Is Faunabuurt Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Faunabuurt Noord comes out at 23 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 Faunabuurt Noord?
In Faunabuurt Noord the police recorded 52 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Faunabuurt Noord calculated?
Faunabuurt Noord scores 7.8 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 Faunabuurt Noord 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.
