Everything for children close by, and nowhere weak
What sets Zeestratenbuurt apart is not one outlier but the absence of a weak spot: no pillar drops below a 6.5. Neighbourhoods that keep up on all five are rare, because most buy their proximity with quiet or their quiet with access.
One figure breaks that pattern, and it does not sit in the pillars themselves. Burglary here is more than three times above the national middle, while violence, property crime and vandalism all sit below it. That is the profile of a well-off residential area: little gets reported, but what happens, happens behind the front door.
The highest income group here is almost twice the national size and the property value is far above the Dutch middle. Only the share of residents on social assistance sits slightly above the median — a detail that qualifies the picture without tipping it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zeestratenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Zeestratenbuurt?
In Zeestratenbuurt the police recorded 32 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Zeestratenbuurt calculated?
Zeestratenbuurt scores 9.7 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 Zeestratenbuurt 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.
