Good for children, with a safety question

The property value in Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid is above the Dutch median and the share of top incomes is nationally average there, and still the wealth pillar stays on a 5.0. That comes from the other end of the distribution: the bottom income group is wider there than usual and the social assistance level is a multiple of the national one.

With an exceptionally high resident density a 4.3 for quiet & nature is high rather than low. The tree canopy is above the median there and an eighth of the surface consists of water, which counts in this pillar; it is the noise and the tight greenery that push the figure down. The flip side of that same density is in the safety pillar, where all four counted offence types lie above the national middle, violence at a good one and a half times. That the neighbourhood nevertheless reaches a 6.3 overall is down to the 9.0 for families and the high amenities figure — both above all a matter of short distances.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid comes out at 28 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 Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid?

In Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid the police recorded 253 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid calculated?

Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid scores 6.3 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 Zuidwestkwadrant-Zuid 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.
