Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Burglary in Stedenwijk Zuid is recorded almost eight times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. That is the most striking figure here, and it largely determines the safety score of 4.6, since burglary is, after violence, the heaviest component of that pillar. Violence itself is in fact below the national middle — what happens here happens behind the front door, not in the street.

The families pillar stands opposite with a 9.7: the primary school four hundred metres away and nearly four in ten households with children.

The 4.0 for wealth & income comes mainly from the social assistance rate, far above the national middle, and from property values below it; the income distribution deviates less than those two figures would suggest. Quiet & nature stalls at a 5.7, with noise below the median but greenery below it too — the building here is dense and that is what counts.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stedenwijk Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Stedenwijk Zuid comes out at 35 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 Zuid?

In Stedenwijk Zuid the police recorded 98 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (35 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 Zuid calculated?

Stedenwijk Zuid scores 7.5 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 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.
