Bottom 16% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little to spend

In Anklaar all four types of offence are above the national median, with theft at more than twice the middle as the largest item. A neighbourhood of nearly five thousand residents produces enough reports for that not to be chance, and it explains why the safety pillar stalls at 3.6 while no single type really stands out.

The wealth pillar points the same way, with social assistance at almost five times the national median as its sharpest component; only vacancy is below the middle.

The 7.4 for families is the figure that deviates, and it rests on proximity: the primary school is seven hundred metres away, in a place where a third of households have children. The noise level here is exactly at the national median — it is the lack of greenery within three hundred metres that presses on the quiet & nature pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Anklaar a safe neighbourhood?

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

In Anklaar the police recorded 224 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 Anklaar calculated?

Anklaar scores 3.7 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 Anklaar 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.
