Safe, but few children

Minervahaven-Noordoost is a statistical outlier. Almost every household consists of one person, no children and no over-65s live here, and nine in ten households fall in the lowest income group. That last figure pushes the wealth & income pillar down to a 4.3, with the caveat that the heaviest-weighted component of that pillar — property value — is not in the data for this neighbourhood.

Three quarters of the surface is water, and still quiet & nature stays at a 4.0. Greenery and trees are all but absent here; only the noise level is below the national middle.

The families pillar reaches a 3.4, which is no surprise with no children and a primary school just over a kilometre away. What the area does offer is relative calm on crime: violence, burglary and vandalism all sit below the median, and that yields an 8.1 for safety despite a lot of property crime.

Frequently asked questions

Is Minervahaven-Noordoost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Minervahaven-Noordoost comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 8.1. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 33 records per 1,000, 1.3 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Minervahaven-Noordoost?

In Minervahaven-Noordoost the police recorded 47 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Minervahaven-Noordoost calculated?

Minervahaven-Noordoost scores 3.6 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 Minervahaven-Noordoost 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.
