Bottom 20% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, safety lags

Six per cent of the homes in Jericho / Jeruzalem are owner-occupied and all of them are single-family houses. The wealth & income figure of 3.4 goes with that: half of households are in the lowest income group, fewer than a tenth in the highest, and the share of social assistance is six times the national level.

The 3.1 for safety comes not from theft but from violence and burglary, both more than twice the national median. Those are the two heaviest components of that pillar, and they are also the kind of registration that affects residents directly. Against that stands a 7.7 for families, carried by the primary school five hundred metres away. With six hundred residents this remains a neighbourhood where a single incident moves the figure noticeably.

Frequently asked questions

Is Jericho / Jeruzalem a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Jericho / Jeruzalem comes out at 33 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 Jericho / Jeruzalem?

In Jericho / Jeruzalem the police recorded 27 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Jericho / Jeruzalem calculated?

Jericho / Jeruzalem scores 4.0 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 Jericho / Jeruzalem 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.
