Everything for children close by, and little room

A 9.9 for families and a 9.7 overall: Nieuw-Sloten-Zuidoost is in the national top tier on both, and that in a place with more than nine thousand residents per square kilometre. Density like that usually comes at the expense of exactly those pillars.

Safety tells a more nuanced story than the 6.7 suggests. Violence is at less than half the national median, but burglary and property crime are above it. Because violence weighs most heavily in that pillar, the score still comes out favourably — total reported offences are almost exactly at the national median.

An 8.4 for wealth & income rests here on a property value well above the national median and a favourable income distribution, while only one in five homes is owner-occupied. That is an unusual combination: expensive housing in a predominantly rented neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nieuw-Sloten-Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Nieuw-Sloten-Zuidoost 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-Zuidoost?

In Nieuw-Sloten-Zuidoost the police recorded 75 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-Zuidoost calculated?

Nieuw-Sloten-Zuidoost scores 9.7 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-Zuidoost 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.
