Safe, but not spacious

In Tussen de Vaarten Noord the railway station is a kilometre away and the supermarket five hundred metres — a rare combination, because a station nearby usually comes with plenty of noise and little green.

Here that is not quite the case: greenery is above the national middle, but there is no open water and traffic noise comes out above the median. So the quiet & nature pillar sticks at a 4.7 while the rest of the neighbourhood scores high.

The safety pillar reaches a 9.2 because all four types of reported offence are below the national middle; for theft it is barely half of it. Half of households have children, and with the primary school within walking distance that produces an 8.2 for families.

How much crime is there in Tussen de Vaarten N.- Noord?

In Tussen de Vaarten N.- Noord the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Tussen de Vaarten N.- Noord calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Tussen de Vaarten N.- Noord lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
