Everything close by, safety lags

A 7.8 for quiet & nature in Amsterdam is rare. In Holendrecht-Oost the greenery in the immediate surroundings is above the national median, there is more tree canopy than average and there is water nearby, at a population density that is modest for the city.

The 8.0 for families needs a different kind of explanation. Almost three in ten residents are 65 or older and the share of children is below the national middle; that score therefore comes from the short distance to the primary school, which sets nearly two thirds of the pillar, and not from the number of children living here. The 4.9 for safety sits in violence and vandalism: both are well above the median, while burglary and theft stay below it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Holendrecht-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Holendrecht-Oost 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 Holendrecht-Oost?

In Holendrecht-Oost the police recorded 100 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 Holendrecht-Oost calculated?

Holendrecht-Oost scores 7.7 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 Holendrecht-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.
