Everything close by, little space

Trompbuurt is one of the most densely built neighbourhoods in the Netherlands and has got the full set of amenities in return: GP, supermarket, restaurant and primary school are all within four hundred metres, good for a 9.8.

The 7.2 for wealth & income needs a caveat. Property values sit well above the national median and more high-income households live here than nationally, but social assistance is more than three times the median and vacancy comes out above it too. So this is not a wealthy neighbourhood across the board — the average covers two different groups.

With crime, theft is by far the largest part and violence, burglary and vandalism sit close to the national median. That makes the 4.1 for safety a figure about property. The price of the density shows in the 2.8 for quiet & nature.

Frequently asked questions

Is Trompbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Trompbuurt comes out at 32 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 Trompbuurt?

In Trompbuurt the police recorded 166 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Trompbuurt calculated?

Trompbuurt scores 7.2 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 Trompbuurt 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.
