Everything close by, safety lags
The number of reported offences around the Weverstraat is more than three times the national median, and almost half of that is property crime. Violence is four times above it as well. That makes the 2.9 for safety the figure this neighbourhood is judged on, despite a 9.5 for amenities.
The population make-up is just as pronounced. Hardly any single-family homes, very few children and nearly seven in ten households consisting of one person: this is a city-centre neighbourhood in composition, not only in location. The 3.9 for families follows from that, with the primary school a kilometre away besides.
The 3.1 for quiet & nature has one striking piece of luck: there is plenty of open water. Greenery within three hundred metres sits at about a third of the national median, and that weighs more.

Frequently asked questions
Is Weverstraat a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Weverstraat comes out at 77 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Weverstraat 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 Weverstraat?
In Weverstraat the police recorded 306 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (77 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 Weverstraat calculated?
Weverstraat 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 Weverstraat 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.
