Everything close by, safety lags
Two worlds run through each other here. The share of high incomes is far above the national middle, while at the same time the social assistance rate is seven times that of an average neighbourhood. The 5.7 for wealth & income is the arithmetic midpoint between those two extremes, not a description of a middle-class area.
The 2.7 for safety is harder to soften. Violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost are all four above the national median, and violence carries the heaviest weight in that pillar. That is a different story from a city centre where only bicycles disappear.
The 7.5 for families is misleading if you read it as 'children live here'. Two thirds of households consist of one person and the share of children is small; the score comes from the primary school nearby.

Frequently asked questions
Is Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost comes out at 50 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost 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 Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost?
In Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost the police recorded 280 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (50 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-Zuidoost calculated?
Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Zuidoost scores 5.0 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-Zuidoost 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.
