Everything for children close by, and little room

Few neighbourhoods in the Netherlands place two extremes so close together as the Arondeusbuurt: a 9.9 for families next to a 3.2 for wealth & income. That families figure is almost entirely distance — the primary school is three hundred metres away, and school and childcare distance together make up nearly two thirds of the pillar. It says nothing about the wallets of the people living there, and that is the problem here: the social assistance rate is a multiple of the national one, and more than half of households sit in the lowest income group.

The 3.6 for safety does not come from bicycle theft alone. Violent offences run almost three times the national figure, and violence is the heaviest component of that pillar; property crime comes on top of it. That makes the picture different from a busy centre where mainly belongings disappear. Everything is reachable in this neighbourhood — that is what the 9.7 for amenities says, and nothing more.

Frequently asked questions

Is Arondeusbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Arondeusbuurt comes out at 44 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Arondeusbuurt 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 Arondeusbuurt?

In Arondeusbuurt the police recorded 181 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (44 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 Arondeusbuurt calculated?

Arondeusbuurt scores 5.7 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 Arondeusbuurt 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.
