Everything close by, little space

Zero. That is how many social assistance payments Vredeveldbuurt counts per thousand residents, against almost eight nationally. Together with property values above the middle and nearly twice as many high incomes as usual, that produces an 8.3 for wealth & income; only vacancy sits slightly above the median here.

Against it stands a 3.0 for quiet & nature, close to the lowest a Dutch neighbourhood can score. More than eight thousand residents per square kilometre, no water, less greenery than usual and a noise level well above the median: this is densely built Amstelveen without an escape route.

The 7.8 for families rests on the distances, not on the population. The primary school is five hundred metres away, but sixteen per cent of residents are under fifteen and almost half of households consist of one person. It is a place that lies well for families without many families living there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vredeveldbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vredeveldbuurt comes out at 22 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 Vredeveldbuurt?

In Vredeveldbuurt the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Vredeveldbuurt calculated?

Vredeveldbuurt scores 8.2 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 Vredeveldbuurt 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.
