Everything close by, little to spend
For Middelgraaflaan e.o. the property value is missing from the CBS figures. That is no detail: property value carries almost forty per cent of the wealth & income pillar, so the 2.5 standing here rests on the remaining components — and they all point the same way. Four per cent of households are in the top income group against nineteen nationally, social assistance runs almost ten times the Dutch middle, and vacancy is nearly three times as high.
The offence rate here is more than three times the national median, and property offences account for the bulk of it. Even so, this is not simply a place where things disappear: violence too runs far above the national middle. What the table does not show is who it reaches — two in five residents are 65 or older, and two thirds of households consist of one person.

Frequently asked questions
Is Middelgraaflaan e.o. a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Middelgraaflaan e.o. comes out at 78 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Middelgraaflaan e.o. 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 Middelgraaflaan e.o.?
In Middelgraaflaan e.o. the police recorded 157 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (78 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 Middelgraaflaan e.o. calculated?
Middelgraaflaan e.o. scores 2.6 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 Middelgraaflaan e.o. 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.
