Everything close by, safety lags

Amsterdamse Poort records more than thirteen times as many offences per thousand residents as the average Dutch neighbourhood, and that comes almost entirely from theft. This is not the figure of a residential area but of a place where far more people are present by day than live there; residents are the denominator, not the cause. The effect on the pillar is the same all the same: a 2.8 for safety.

The amenities match: shop, restaurant and station are minutes away, good for a 9.7. That is the only score on which this neighbourhood excels.

Families comes to 3.9. More than three quarters of households are single-person and there are few children; the primary school is also a kilometre away, and that distance carries the most weight within the pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Amsterdamse Poort a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Amsterdamse Poort comes out at 317 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Amsterdamse Poort is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Amsterdamse Poort?

In Amsterdamse Poort the police recorded 1,345 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (317 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 Amsterdamse Poort calculated?

Amsterdamse Poort scores 2.8 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 Amsterdamse Poort 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.
