Everything for children close by, and little room

Over twelve thousand residents per square kilometre, and the doctor is still more than a kilometre away: in Middelveldsche Akerpolder the density is in the housing, not in the amenities. That is where the 5.3 for the pillar comes from, with the supermarket also a kilometre off and the railway station over five.

The families pillar does reach an 8.2, and here both heavy components point the same way: the primary school is within a kilometre and more than a fifth of residents are under fifteen.

Safety comes out at a 7.0. Property crime is clearly below the national median and so is vandalism; only violence edges above it. For an Amsterdam neighbourhood of this size that is a more favourable picture than the overall score suggests.

Frequently asked questions

Is Middelveldsche Akerpolder a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Middelveldsche Akerpolder comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Middelveldsche Akerpolder?

In Middelveldsche Akerpolder the police recorded 111 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Middelveldsche Akerpolder calculated?

Middelveldsche Akerpolder scores 6.2 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 Middelveldsche Akerpolder 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.
