Everything close by, little to spend
Living in the Componistenkwartier means being close to everything: restaurant, supermarket and GP are all within a kilometre, and that yields an 8.8 for amenities. The income picture runs straight against it. The property value stays well below the national middle, the highest income group is thinner and the lowest broader than nationally, and for every forty residents there is roughly one social assistance benefit here — more than three times the Dutch figure. Only vacancy comes out better than average.
The number of reported offences is just below the national median, but that total masks where things go wrong. Violence stays far below the middle and property offences slightly below it, while burglary stands at double the median and vandalism is above it too. This is not a place where you watch your back at night, but it is one where locks and windows matter.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Componistenkwartier comes out at 24 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Componistenkwartier?
In Componistenkwartier the police recorded 100 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Componistenkwartier calculated?
Componistenkwartier scores 5.8 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 Componistenkwartier 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.
