Bottom 26% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

Of all thirteen thousand-plus neighbourhoods with a quiet & nature score, the Czaar Peterbuurt sits near the very bottom. The noise level here is more than eight decibels above the Dutch middle, greenery covers a fifth of the ground within three hundred metres and the tree canopy is thin. With a density above twenty thousand inhabitants per square kilometre, the 2.5 is no longer a surprise.

The wealth & income pillar splits in two. Property value is above the median and the top income group is broader than nationally, but the social assistance rate is nearly eight times the middle. Those are two stories in one neighbourhood, and the 5.3 is their sum, not their summary.

Theft runs at more than three times the median; violence, by contrast, barely above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Czaar Peterbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Czaar Peterbuurt comes out at 47 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Czaar Peterbuurt 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 Czaar Peterbuurt?

In Czaar Peterbuurt the police recorded 222 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (47 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 Czaar Peterbuurt calculated?

Czaar Peterbuurt scores 4.4 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 Czaar Peterbuurt 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.
