Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid
2,945 residents · postal code 1015 · Part of Jordaan, Amsterdam
Everything close by, safety lags
Seven per cent of the residents of Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid are under fifteen, and yet the families score is a 7.1. That figure mainly measures distance — school and childcare together carry almost two thirds of it — and in the Jordaan everything sits within a few hundred metres. So here it says something about the map, not about who lives there.
The real tension is between the 9.7 for amenities and the 2.9 for safety. The first is what you would expect in a neighbourhood with nearly twenty-seven thousand residents per square kilometre. The second is sharper than the city picture suggests: it is not only property offences that run well above the national median — violence does too, and burglary sits at three times the level.
Vacancy is more than double the national figure, which stands out given a property value that rises well above it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid 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 Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid?
In Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid the police recorded 198 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid calculated?
Anjeliersbuurt-Zuid scores 5.5 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 Anjeliersbuurt-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.
