Good for children, with a safety question

Nieuw-Sloten-Noordoost is a place where only a minority own their home and property value is still well above the national median. That is the city: price and ownership say different things here, and only the first weighs heavily in the wealth pillar.

The safety score of 4.5 calls for precision. The total number of offences is practically at the national median, so that does not explain it. What does explain it is violence: well above the national middle here, and the heaviest-weighing component of the pillar. Burglary is above it too, vandalism well below.

The quiet and nature pillar stalls at 4.9 despite a generous share of water. Greenery within three hundred metres comes nowhere near the national level, and noise exposure is well above it. At this density that is a predictable outcome, but it is the figure costing the overall score the most.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nieuw-Sloten-Noordoost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Nieuw-Sloten-Noordoost comes out at 24 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 Nieuw-Sloten-Noordoost?

In Nieuw-Sloten-Noordoost the police recorded 105 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Nieuw-Sloten-Noordoost calculated?

Nieuw-Sloten-Noordoost scores 6.9 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 Nieuw-Sloten-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.
