Everything for children close by, and little room
Tree canopy is virtually absent in Homeruskwartier Zuid: less than one per cent of the surroundings within three hundred metres, far below the national middle. Together with the dense building, that explains the 3.3 for quiet & nature, the only weak score in this neighbourhood.
Against it stand an 8.9 for safety and a 9.3 for families. Violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four sit below the national median, and the primary school is within walking distance.
The homes were without exception built after 2000. That the wealth & income pillar still gets no further than 6.3 is down to property value, which lands almost exactly on the national median while the income split is favourable. New housing and high incomes do not translate into high valuations here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Homeruskwartier Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Homeruskwartier Zuid comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Homeruskwartier Zuid?
In Homeruskwartier Zuid the police recorded 53 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Homeruskwartier Zuid calculated?
Homeruskwartier Zuid scores 9.2 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 Homeruskwartier Zuid 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.
