Everything for children close by, and little room

The Dijkgraafpleinbuurt scores highest where you would not expect it: a 9.3 for families, in a neighbourhood where half the households consist of one person. That score comes from distance — the primary school is four hundred metres away — and not from the number of children, which is only slightly above the national level.

Set against that is a 3.6 for wealth & income. Top incomes are rare here, low incomes widespread, and social assistance is a good three times as common as nationally.

Among the offences, violence, theft and vandalism are all three above the national level, violence most clearly. And although this is an Amsterdam neighbourhood, the nearest station is a good five kilometres away; that is what holds back the 7.7 for amenities, because shop and GP are there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dijkgraafpleinbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Dijkgraafpleinbuurt comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Dijkgraafpleinbuurt?

In Dijkgraafpleinbuurt the police recorded 284 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Dijkgraafpleinbuurt calculated?

Dijkgraafpleinbuurt scores 4.2 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 Dijkgraafpleinbuurt 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.
