Good for children, with a safety question
In Stedenwijk Midden-oost all four types of offence sit above the national middle: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism. That is rarer than it sounds — most neighbourhoods with a low safety score have one type that makes the figure. Here no single outlier can be named, and that turns the 2.9 for safety into a broad story rather than a narrow one.
Against it stands a 9.3 for families, and that comes almost entirely from distance. The primary school is a few hundred metres away and that component weighs heaviest in the pillar. The share of children in the neighbourhood sits below the national picture, so the high score is about accessibility, not about how many families live here.
Wealth & income stays at a 3.6. Property value sits below the national middle, high incomes are thinly spread and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the Dutch median. Only vacancy, at a couple of per cent, is simply low.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stedenwijk Midden-oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Stedenwijk Midden-oost comes out at 32 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 Stedenwijk Midden-oost?
In Stedenwijk Midden-oost the police recorded 118 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Stedenwijk Midden-oost calculated?
Stedenwijk Midden-oost scores 4.1 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 Stedenwijk Midden-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.
