Good for children, with a safety question

One figure decides almost everything here: domestic burglary in Augustinuspark runs at roughly ten times the national median. Because burglary is, after violence, the heaviest component of the safety pillar, that pillar gets no further than a 3.5, while the total number of reported offences is only a third above the national level.

The other side of this Amstelveen neighbourhood is the 9.0 for families. The primary school is four hundred metres away, and that is the main building block of the score — more so than the share of children, which stays near the national average.

Wealth & income comes out at a 4.6, and that is not a uniform picture: the income distribution barely differs from the national one and property values are slightly below it, but the social assistance rate is a multiple above. The station at more than six kilometres is the weak spot in an otherwise short-distance neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Is Augustinuspark a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Augustinuspark 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 Augustinuspark?

In Augustinuspark the police recorded 129 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 Augustinuspark calculated?

Augustinuspark scores 5.0 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 Augustinuspark 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.
