Everything close by, little to spend

Not one pillar in Reigersbos 3 comes out higher than 7.4, and the overall score of 3.8 is therefore not the result of a single outlier but of figures that all stay around or below the middle. That makes the neighbourhood harder to read than a place with one clear weak point.

The noise level is eight decibels above the national median and the surrounding greenery below; that is where the 3.9 for quiet & nature comes from. The 3.6 for wealth & income turns on the social assistance rate, almost six times above the national level here, and on a property value below the middle. For families the neighbourhood yields 5.4: the primary school is nine hundred metres away, further than in many other places, and the share of children stays below the national average.

Frequently asked questions

Is Reigersbos 3 a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Reigersbos 3 comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Reigersbos 3?

In Reigersbos 3 the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Reigersbos 3 calculated?

Reigersbos 3 scores 3.8 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 Reigersbos 3 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.
