Everything close by, safety lags
A property value far above the national median next to a social assistance rate at almost four times the middle: in Patrimonium expensive and vulnerable households live side by side. The 7.0 for wealth & income is therefore an average that describes no household at all — the property value pulls it up, the benefits and the share of low incomes push back.
The 3.3 for safety leaves less room for nuance: violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four above the national middle, property crime most clearly. That contrasts with a 9.0 for amenities, and the two are connected — everything is close by here, and where many people pass through more offences are reported.
What holds up the quiet & nature pillar is the tree canopy: it is at more than twice the national median, while the sound level comes out clearly above it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Patrimonium a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Patrimonium 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 Patrimonium?
In Patrimonium the police recorded 118 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 Patrimonium calculated?
Patrimonium scores 7.6 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 Patrimonium 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.
