Everything close by, safety lags

For amenities there is a 9.4 at Osdorpplein e.o.: shops, GP and catering are all within walking distance. In the same neighbourhood stands a 3.2 for safety, and that is no contradiction — it is the same bustle, seen from two sides.

Still, not everything points upwards. Of the four recorded categories, burglary is the only one *below* the national average. Violence, by contrast, comes out at about four times the median, and that component counts heaviest in this pillar; theft likewise lies far above it.

The 4.3 for wealth & income comes from one component. The property value sits just below the Dutch middle and the income distribution deviates only slightly, but the share of residents on social assistance is five times as high as is usual nationally.

Frequently asked questions

Is Osdorpplein e.o. a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Osdorpplein e.o. comes out at 70 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Osdorpplein e.o. 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 Osdorpplein e.o.?

In Osdorpplein e.o. the police recorded 539 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (70 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 Osdorpplein e.o. calculated?

Osdorpplein e.o. scores 4.8 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 Osdorpplein e.o. 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.
