Koningin Wilhelminaplein
3,410 residents · postal code 1062 · Part of Westlandgracht, Amsterdam
Everything close by, little space
Koningin Wilhelminaplein has not a single single-family home and a density of almost fourteen thousand residents per square kilometre. Noise levels are nine decibels above the national median — the largest gap this measurement can produce, and it sets the quiet & nature pillar at 3.8.
The wealth & income pillar is strong across the board: property values above the Dutch middle, more than forty per cent of all households on a high income, a fifth on a low one, and both social assistance and vacancy on or below the median.
The offence rate is more than double the national middle and consists almost seven eighths of property crime. Violence here is actually below the median and burglary exactly on it. That is the profile of a busy urban neighbourhood where things go missing, not of a place where you would rather stay indoors after dark.

Frequently asked questions
Is Koningin Wilhelminaplein a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Koningin Wilhelminaplein comes out at 48 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Koningin Wilhelminaplein 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 Koningin Wilhelminaplein?
In Koningin Wilhelminaplein the police recorded 260 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (48 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 Koningin Wilhelminaplein calculated?
Koningin Wilhelminaplein scores 6.5 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 Koningin Wilhelminaplein 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.
