Everything close by, safety lags

Half of the households in Componistenbuurt-Noord consist of one person, and the share of residents under fifteen is below the national median. Yet the families figure comes out at 7.3, carried by the short distance to school and childcare — not by who lives here.

The 5.7 for safety has one clear driver: property crime, more than a quarter above the national median, alongside vandalism which is also above it. Violence stays below, confirming a picture of theft rather than street violence. Behind the 6.1 for wealth & income lie two movements: the income distribution is more favourable than nationally and almost nothing stands empty, but social assistance runs at more than three times the median and property value sits just below it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Componistenbuurt-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Componistenbuurt-Noord comes out at 26 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Componistenbuurt-Noord?

In Componistenbuurt-Noord the police recorded 74 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Componistenbuurt-Noord calculated?

Componistenbuurt-Noord scores 8.1 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 Componistenbuurt-Noord 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.
