neighbourhood in Amsterdam
Paramariboplein e.o.
3,775 residents · postal code 1058 · Part of Westindische Buurt, Amsterdam
Everything close by, little space
On amenities, Paramariboplein e.o. ranks among the very highest in the country: a 9.9, with everything within walking distance and a station less than two kilometres away. That same density — over twenty thousand residents per square kilometre — produces a 4.1 for quiet & nature. There is hardly any greenery, and all the more noise.
The wealth & income pillar is only partly favourable. Property values are well above the national median, the top income group is broad and the bottom one narrow, but social assistance runs at almost three times the national median and vacancy is higher than nationally. A 7.5 covers both movements without describing either.
Most of the recorded crime is property crime, but violence here is above the median as well; safety therefore gets no further than 4.2.

Frequently asked questions
Is Paramariboplein e.o. a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Paramariboplein e.o. comes out at 34 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Paramariboplein e.o.?
In Paramariboplein e.o. the police recorded 215 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Paramariboplein e.o. calculated?
Paramariboplein e.o. scores 7.9 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 Paramariboplein 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.
