Everything close by, safety lags

In Dobbebuurt more than one in ten residents claims social assistance, over ten times the national level. That figure carries the 2.9 for wealth & income just as much as property value does, and it comes alongside vacancy far above the national median. Every component of that pillar points the same way.

The 2.8 for safety is of a different order from that of a busy shopping area. Property offences are well above the national median here, but so is violence: almost four times the median. That difference matters, because violence weighs more heavily in this pillar than any other type.

Set against that is a 9.5 for amenities. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within half a kilometre; for everyday needs nobody here has to leave the neighbourhood. So the low overall score is not caused by something missing, but by what the other pillars measure.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dobbebuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Dobbebuurt comes out at 69 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Dobbebuurt 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 Dobbebuurt?

In Dobbebuurt the police recorded 327 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (69 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 Dobbebuurt calculated?

Dobbebuurt scores 3.7 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 Dobbebuurt 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.
