Everything close by, safety lags
The social assistance rate in Jan de Louterbuurt is more than five times the national median, and together with a property value below the middle, few high incomes and vacancy at double the national level, that makes the wealth pillar uniformly low.
On safety, all four offence types lie above the national median. So no single type explains the score on its own, and the popular image of a place where only belongings go missing does not fit: violence is nearly double the national middle.
The 8.6 for families stands out alongside that, and it is largely a matter of location — the primary school is four hundred metres away. The share of households with children is below the national picture and single-person households are in the majority here. Here the pillar describes what is within reach, not who lives there.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jan de Louterbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Jan de Louterbuurt comes out at 45 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Jan de Louterbuurt 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 Jan de Louterbuurt?
In Jan de Louterbuurt the police recorded 233 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (45 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 Jan de Louterbuurt calculated?
Jan de Louterbuurt scores 4.6 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 Jan de Louterbuurt 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.
