Everything close by, safety lags
With a 2.6 as its overall score, Sloterdijk Stationskwartier is among the lowest-scoring neighbourhoods in the country, and the safety pillar is the direct cause. Property crime here is more than eleven times above the national middle and violence almost five times. With a population under two thousand and a station around the corner, that figure says at least as much about who passes through as about who lives there.
The noise level is thirteen decibels above the median, by far the largest gap you can meet in the quiet & nature pillar. That is why a neighbourhood with low population density still stalls at a 3.7.
The primary school is a kilometre and a half away and barely one in fourteen households has children. That combination yields a 3.2 for families — here both the distance and the population explain it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sloterdijk Stationskwartier a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Sloterdijk Stationskwartier comes out at 148 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Sloterdijk Stationskwartier 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 Sloterdijk Stationskwartier?
In Sloterdijk Stationskwartier the police recorded 818 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (148 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 Sloterdijk Stationskwartier calculated?
Sloterdijk Stationskwartier scores 2.6 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 Sloterdijk Stationskwartier 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.
