Everything close by, safety lags

Four in five households in Rembrandtpark-Noord consist of one person and there is not a single owner-occupied home. That is a population profile which keeps the families pillar at a 4.6 despite a primary school seven hundred metres away: the share of children here is simply small.

The 2.5 for safety is this neighbourhood's lowest score and it has a broad base. Violence is four times above the national middle, property crime almost four times and vandalism more than twice. Only burglary stays close to the median.

Strikingly, the area scores above average on quiet & nature at a 6.8 — a low population density and a tree canopy twice above the Dutch middle make that possible. That crime plays no part in it is exactly why the two scores diverge so far.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rembrandtpark-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rembrandtpark-Noord comes out at 83 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rembrandtpark-Noord 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 Rembrandtpark-Noord?

In Rembrandtpark-Noord the police recorded 148 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (83 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 Rembrandtpark-Noord calculated?

Rembrandtpark-Noord scores 4.6 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 Rembrandtpark-Noord 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.
