Everything close by, little to spend
Elderveld-Noord's crime figure is at more than four times the national middle, but the four broken-out types together account for less than a third of it. Most of it therefore sits in categories that are not shown separately. What is visible is above the median without exception, and the safety pillar comes out at 2.8.
The wealth & income pillar stands at exactly the same figure, but for other reasons: a social assistance rate at more than eleven times the national middle, six in ten households in the lowest income group and a property value well below the median. Only vacancy is low.
Against that stands a 9.2 for amenities — GP, supermarket, restaurant and primary school are all within six hundred metres and the station one and a half kilometres away. The quiet & nature pillar holds up surprisingly well at 6.8, thanks to green cover and trees that are both above the national middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is Elderveld-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Elderveld-Noord comes out at 98 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Elderveld-Noord 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 Elderveld-Noord?
In Elderveld-Noord the police recorded 319 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (98 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 Elderveld-Noord calculated?
Elderveld-Noord scores 3.6 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 Elderveld-Noord 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.
