Everything close by, little to spend

Three quarters of households in Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost are single-person, and not one home is a family house. That is the context for a families score of 6.8 that rests almost entirely on the short walk to the primary school — the share of children here is around half the national median.

Among the offences, property crime dominates: nearly three times the national level and the bulk of the total. But violence is well above the median too, which puts the 3.3 for safety in a harsher light than a pure theft profile would.

The 9.6 for amenities and the 3.5 for quiet & nature come from the same source. With over twelve thousand residents per square kilometre, little greenery and a sound level far above the median, proximity is bought with bustle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost comes out at 55 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost 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 Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost?

In Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost the police recorded 168 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (55 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 Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost calculated?

Delflandpleinbuurt-Oost scores 3.6 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 Delflandpleinbuurt-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.
