Everything close by, little space

Theft in Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost is more than twice the national median and is thus the component that almost single-handedly causes the 4.4 for safety: violence and burglary here sit exactly on the Dutch middle. That makes the picture different from what the score suggests — it is not a broadly raised level but one category that spikes.

The quiet & nature pillar is the lowest of the five. At more than nineteen thousand residents per square kilometre the greenery gets no further than a quarter of the surroundings, there is no surface water and the noise level is almost seven decibels above the middle.

The wealth & income pillar only half adds up: a high property value and many households in the top income group, but at the same time a social assistance rate more than three times the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost comes out at 34 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 Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost?

In Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost the police recorded 124 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost calculated?

Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost scores 6.2 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 Aalsmeerwegbuurt-Oost 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.
