De Klenckebuurt
830 residents · postal code 1083 · Part of Buitenveldert-Oost, Amsterdam
Everything close by, little space
More than a third of the residents of De Klenckebuurt are 65 or older, and still the families pillar comes out at a 6.6. That score here mainly measures the primary school five hundred metres away; the share of children is below the national middle. Anyone reading the 6.6 as a neighbourhood full of young families is reading something that is not there.
The wealth & income pillar is the strongest point at an 8.3 and that holds right across: property value is well above the Dutch middle, four in ten households are in the highest income group and the lowest is more than half as thin as nationally. Only the share of residents on social assistance is slightly above the median.
The 4.6 for safety comes almost entirely from property crime, more than twice the national figure. Violence, burglary and vandalism stay at or below the median — this is about possessions, not about the street.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Klenckebuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Klenckebuurt comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: De Klenckebuurt 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 De Klenckebuurt?
In De Klenckebuurt the police recorded 53 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 De Klenckebuurt calculated?
De Klenckebuurt scores 7.8 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 Klenckebuurt 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.
