Everything close by, little space

One in ten residents of Klarendal-Zuid receives social assistance. That is thirteen times the national level and the sharpest figure a neighbourhood of this size can show; together with a property value of less than two thirds of the median it produces a 2.8 for wealth & income.

The amenities are the mirror image. Supermarket, restaurant and station are all within half a kilometre, good for a 9.6 — the only figure here that rises above the middle.

In between sits a neighbourhood of almost fourteen thousand residents per square kilometre where none of the four categories of offence stays below the national median and where greenery gets no further than a quarter of the surroundings. Proximity is fully present here and almost everything else that counts is missing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Klarendal-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Klarendal-Zuid comes out at 48 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Klarendal-Zuid 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 Klarendal-Zuid?

In Klarendal-Zuid the police recorded 159 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (48 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 Klarendal-Zuid calculated?

Klarendal-Zuid scores 2.8 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 Klarendal-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.
