Everything close by, little space
Crime in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord has a recognisable profile: theft occurs almost twice as often as nationally, while violence stays below the Dutch median. That is the pattern of a busy urban neighbourhood where things disappear, not of a place where you would rather stay indoors at night. Burglary does run above, and that pushes the 4.5 further down than the figures suggest at first glance.
The wealth & income pillar is only partly strong. Property values sit well above the Dutch median and high incomes are more common here than nationally, but the number of social assistance claims per thousand residents is a multiple of the Dutch level. That explains why the pillar stalls at a 6.3 rather than coming out higher.
The 3.5 for quiet & nature follows directly from building density, among the highest in the country, and from the fact that there is little greenery within three hundred metres. The water nearby offsets that only in part.

Frequently asked questions
Is Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord comes out at 30 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 Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord?
In Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord the police recorded 190 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord calculated?
Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord scores 7.0 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 Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord 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.
