Everything close by, safety lags
The social assistance rate in Presikhaaf III runs at more than thirteen times the national median. That is an extreme figure, and it does not stand alone: six per cent of households belong to the top income group against roughly a fifth nationally, and property values are less than sixty per cent of the national median. The wealth & income pillar therefore lands on a 2.8.
Crime here is not the familiar urban picture of vanished bicycles. Violence runs at almost three times the median and vandalism at more than double; in the safety pillar those weigh more heavily than property offences, which are elevated too.
Set against those two fails is a 9.1 for amenities. Everything you need daily is within eight hundred metres and the station one and a half kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Presikhaaf III a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Presikhaaf III comes out at 46 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Presikhaaf III 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 Presikhaaf III?
In Presikhaaf III the police recorded 284 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (46 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 Presikhaaf III calculated?
Presikhaaf III 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 Presikhaaf III 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.
