5,810 residents · postal code 1060 · Part of De Aker, Amsterdam
Everything for children close by, and little room
With a 9.8 for families De Aker-Oost is in the national top four hundred, and for an Amsterdam neighbourhood that is unusual. The primary school is round the corner and almost every second household has children — two components that together carry the most weight in that pillar.
Still the wealth pillar gets no higher than a 7.4, while property value is far above the national middle. What tempers that score is social assistance use, a good double the Dutch line, and a bottom income group that sits exactly at the national level. On safety the total stays below the Dutch average, but violence is above it; so the low total does not tell the whole story. Quiet & nature is the weak point at a 4.2, with almost nine thousand residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Aker-Oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Aker-Oost comes out at 18 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 De Aker-Oost?
In De Aker-Oost the police recorded 148 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 De Aker-Oost calculated?
De Aker-Oost scores 9.0 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 De Aker-Oost 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.
