Everything close by, little space

Burglary is the figure that stands out in Marcanti: almost four times the national middle, while violence and vandalism both sit below it. Because burglary determines more than a quarter of the safety pillar, it stays at a 5.4 with a total offence count that barely deviates from the median.

Amenities are all but complete at a 9.5: supermarket, GP, restaurant and school are all within eight hundred metres. Only the station takes more than three kilometres.

The income side tells no single story. Property value is above the Dutch middle and the highest income group is almost twice as broad as nationally, but the share of residents on social assistance is five times above the median. Almost six in ten households consist of one person, and that explains why the families pillar stays at a 6.3 despite a school around the corner.

Frequently asked questions

Is Marcanti a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Marcanti comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Marcanti?

In Marcanti the police recorded 35 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Marcanti calculated?

Marcanti scores 7.5 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 Marcanti 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.
