Everything close by, safety lags

Burglary in Osdorp-Zuidoost is three times above the national median, and that weighs more heavily in the safety figure than the total number of offences suggests. Violence and theft are above it too; only vandalism stays below. So the 3.4 does not come from one type.

Wealth & income cannot be read in one direction. Property value sits almost exactly at the national median and so does vacancy, but the share of lower incomes is considerably higher than nationally and the number of social assistance benefits more than three times. Homes here are therefore not cheap; residents have less to spend.

A 9.0 for amenities against a 5.3 for quiet & nature is the classic city trade, and it lands a little softer here than in an inner city: the tree canopy is well above the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Osdorp-Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Osdorp-Zuidoost comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Osdorp-Zuidoost is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Osdorp-Zuidoost?

In Osdorp-Zuidoost the police recorded 219 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Osdorp-Zuidoost calculated?

Osdorp-Zuidoost scores 5.0 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 Osdorp-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.
