Good for children, with a safety question
The safety score for Muziekwijk Z.-Oost hangs on a single type of offence. Violence and property crime are below the national median here, but burglary is six times above it, and burglary weighs heavily in that pillar. A 4.3 in a neighbourhood where the street is quieter than is usual nationally: that is a problem behind the front door, not outside it.
The 9.2 for families comes from the short distance to the primary school, four hundred metres away. The share of children is below the national level here and a quarter of residents are over 65, so this figure mainly says something about reachability.
Wealth & income stays mid-table at 6.1. Property value is below the national median and drags the pillar down, while the income distribution is in fact slightly better than nationally and vacancy is low.

Frequently asked questions
Is Muziekwijk Z.-Oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Muziekwijk Z.-Oost comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Muziekwijk Z.-Oost?
In Muziekwijk Z.-Oost the police recorded 99 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Muziekwijk Z.-Oost calculated?
Muziekwijk Z.-Oost scores 7.7 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 Muziekwijk Z.-Oost 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.
