Top 19% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

Almost twenty-eight thousand residents per square kilometre: Buyskade e.o. is among the most densely built neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, and greenery within three hundred metres stops at a fifth — just over a third of the national middle. That is where the 3.8 for quiet & nature comes from, not from noise, which is only slightly above the median.

The crime total here lies below the national middle and violence at a quarter of it, in an area where far more people come each day than live there. Only burglary is above the median, and that pushes the safety pillar down to a 7.3.

The wealth & income column is divided in a way you have to read component by component: high incomes are more than one and a half times as common here as nationally and property value is well above the median, while the rate of social assistance is over five times the national level. Together that makes a 7.0.

Frequently asked questions

Is Buyskade e.o. a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Buyskade e.o. comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Buyskade e.o.?

In Buyskade e.o. the police recorded 98 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Buyskade e.o. calculated?

Buyskade e.o. scores 8.6 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 Buyskade e.o. 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.
