neighbourhood in Almere
Nobelhorst Oost
1,970 residents · postal code 1341 · Part of Nobelhorst, Almere
School close by, shops further off
The primary school is four hundred metres away, but for a GP you have to drive almost four kilometres from Nobelhorst Oost, and the supermarket is no walk either. That split produces two scores that seem not to belong together: a 9.8 for families and a 3.2 for amenities.
The number of reported offences is well below the national median, and yet safety gets no further than a 6.5. Burglary is the reason: it happens here more than twice as often as nationally, and that weighs heavily. On wealth & income almost every component points up — high property value, many high incomes, few low ones — with one exception: the rate of social assistance is slightly above the national median. Two thirds of households here have children.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nobelhorst Oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Nobelhorst Oost comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Nobelhorst Oost is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Nobelhorst Oost?
In Nobelhorst Oost the police recorded 32 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Nobelhorst Oost calculated?
Nobelhorst 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 Nobelhorst 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.
