Everything close by, little space

There are only a few dozen neighbourhoods in the Netherlands where amenities are closer than in Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt: supermarket, GP, restaurant and school are all within four hundred metres. That is a 10.0.

The crime figures follow the pattern that goes with it. Theft here is almost three times the national median, while violence and vandalism stay below it. That is the picture of a busy urban neighbourhood where belongings disappear, not of streets that feel unsafe after dark.

The families score of 7.6 deserves explaining, because few children live here: under one in eight households has any. What lifts that score is the short distance to school and childcare, together nearly two thirds of the pillar. Proximity is something other than family life here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt comes out at 43 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt 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 Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt?

In Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt the police recorded 166 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (43 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 Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt calculated?

Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt scores 7.4 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 Kromme Mijdrechtbuurt 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.
