Everything close by, little space
In Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid virtually no one is over sixty-five and fewer than a tenth of households have children. More than four in five households are single-person, in homes almost all built after the turn of the century and none of them owner-occupied.
The 3.6 for families therefore comes from two directions at once: the primary school is more than fourteen hundred metres away, and that is the heaviest item in the pillar, while the share of households with children is among the very lowest in the country.
Noise is the most striking figure in the quiet pillar: it runs far above the national median here, higher than in many a city centre. On safety it is notable that violence and burglary sit below the median while theft is well above it; with a 6.5, the neighbourhood does better on that count than the overall score suggests.

Frequently asked questions
Is Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid 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 Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid?
In Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid the police recorded 152 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 Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid calculated?
Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid scores 3.7 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 Amstel III deel A/B-Zuid 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.
