Everything close by, little space

The Cornelis Troostbuurt is one of the most densely built patches in the country, and it owes both its best and its worst score to that. Amenities land on a 9.9: the restaurant a hundred metres away, the supermarket three hundred, the station under two kilometres. Quiet & nature drops to a 3.5, with under a quarter greenery within three hundred metres and a noise level well above the national median.

The wealth measurement is the neighbourhood's most interesting, because the components contradict one another. Property values sit well above the national median and a third of households are on a high income, but social assistance runs almost four times the national rate and vacancy at double it. This is one neighbourhood with two income extremes side by side, and the 6.6 that comes out describes neither.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cornelis Troostbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Cornelis Troostbuurt comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Cornelis Troostbuurt 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 Cornelis Troostbuurt?

In Cornelis Troostbuurt the police recorded 221 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Cornelis Troostbuurt calculated?

Cornelis Troostbuurt scores 6.5 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 Cornelis Troostbuurt 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.
