Everything close by, except school and childcare

The primary school in Eemdal-Noord is seven hundred metres away, and still the families pillar stops at 5.4. That is the reverse of most neighbourhoods: here it is not distance but who lives there. Nearly three in ten residents are 65 or over, the share of children is below the national middle, and more than four in ten households consist of a single person.

The wealth & income pillar reaches a 5.7 and that score is not unambiguous. Property value sits just below the national median and social assistance almost three times above it, while the income spread works out more favourably than average and vacancy is low. Two components up, two down.

On safety one category stands out: burglary here runs more than three times the national middle, while property crime stays far below it. The total number of reports is low; how they are distributed is worth a look.

Frequently asked questions

Is Eemdal-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Eemdal-Noord?

In Eemdal-Noord the police recorded 30 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Eemdal-Noord calculated?

Eemdal-Noord scores 7.7 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 Eemdal-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.
