neighbourhood in Amsterdam
Lizzy Ansinghbuurt
2,350 residents · postal code 1072 · Part of Nieuwe Pijp, Amsterdam
Everything close by, little space
With nineteen thousand residents to the square kilometre, the Lizzy Ansinghbuurt is among the most densely built in the country, and not a single home is a single-family house. That fully explains the 2.8 for quiet & nature: the share of green is less than half the national middle, there is no water and noise is more than three decibels Lden above the median.
Amenities stand directly opposite at 10.0 — restaurant, supermarket and GP are all three hundred metres away or less. The tension between those two scores is this neighbourhood.
The wealth & income pillar is the hardest to read. The property value is well above the median and almost three in ten households fall into the highest income group, but the social assistance rate is more than five times above the national middle and vacancy one and a half times. Prosperous is therefore only partly the right word.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lizzy Ansinghbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Lizzy Ansinghbuurt comes out at 44 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Lizzy Ansinghbuurt 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 Lizzy Ansinghbuurt?
In Lizzy Ansinghbuurt the police recorded 189 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (44 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 Lizzy Ansinghbuurt calculated?
Lizzy Ansinghbuurt scores 6.6 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 Lizzy Ansinghbuurt 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.
