Willibrordusbuurt

2,675 residents · postal code 1074 · Part of Nieuwe Pijp, Amsterdam

Bottom 42% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

Twenty-five thousand residents per square kilometre: Willibrordusbuurt is among the most densely built places in the country, and the quiet & nature score of 3.4 follows directly from that. There is barely any green in the immediate surroundings and noise levels run well above the Dutch middle.

Less obvious is the wealth & income figure, which stays at 5.4 while property value comes out above the Dutch median. Two components pull that pillar down: the social assistance rate here is almost six times the national level and vacancy more than twice. Expensive housing and a fragile income picture sit side by side. On safety it is mainly property offences that count — those run more than twice the middle, while violence is only just above it. Burglaries and criminal damage are above the Dutch median as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is Willibrordusbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Willibrordusbuurt comes out at 38 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Willibrordusbuurt 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 Willibrordusbuurt?

In Willibrordusbuurt the police recorded 174 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (38 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 Willibrordusbuurt calculated?

Willibrordusbuurt scores 5.6 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 Willibrordusbuurt 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.
