Everything close by, little to spend

Ten times the national social assistance rate, a property value below the median, few high incomes, many low ones and above-average vacancy: in Confuciusbuurt every component of the wealth & income pillar points the same way. A 3.0 is then not an outcome that any single figure could fix.

The quiet & nature pillar does better than the density suggests. With nearly thirteen thousand residents per square kilometre, greenery in the surroundings is roughly at the national level and the tree canopy almost twice above it; that holds the pillar at 5.3 while noise sits well above the median. Together with an amenities score of 9.7, that is this neighbourhood's strong side.

Frequently asked questions

Is Confuciusbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Confuciusbuurt 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 Confuciusbuurt?

In Confuciusbuurt the police recorded 194 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 Confuciusbuurt calculated?

Confuciusbuurt scores 4.6 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 Confuciusbuurt 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.
