Everything close by, little to spend

Property values in D-buurt sit at a fraction of the national median, while three in four homes were built after 2000. New and still cheap is a rare combination, and it explains the 2.6 for wealth & income almost on its own: property value is the heaviest component of that pillar, and incomes and the social assistance rate point the same way.

The number of reported offences is close to twice the national median, and that comes mainly from property crime. But violence here is also well above the median, so this is not the picture of a neighbourhood where only possessions disappear. Burglary is rare: it is the only offence type that stays below the national level.

The 6.3 for families says something other than you would expect. Barely one in twenty households has children; that score runs on the short distance to the primary school, not on who lives here.

Frequently asked questions

Is D-buurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, D-buurt comes out at 45 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: D-buurt 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 D-buurt?

In D-buurt the police recorded 158 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (45 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 D-buurt calculated?

D-buurt scores 3.4 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 D-buurt 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.
