Well-off, but not spacious
Almost every home in the Dalenbuurt is owner-occupied, but that is not where the 8.0 for wealth & income comes from — ownership barely counts within that pillar. It lies in incomes: the highest group is better represented than nationally, the lowest thinner, and social assistance payments do not occur in this neighbourhood. The property value, by contrast, is just below the national median.
The safety score is above all the violence figure. That sits at roughly a fifth of the national median, while violence weighs heaviest within the pillar; total reported offences are only slightly below the median. That is how a 7.9 arises from a crime figure that looks average at first glance.
With nine thousand residents per square kilometre and a primary school more than a kilometre away, not everything is around the corner here. The 6.5 for families and the same 6.5 for amenities show it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dalenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Dalenbuurt comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Dalenbuurt?
In Dalenbuurt the police recorded 49 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Dalenbuurt calculated?
Dalenbuurt scores 8.5 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 Dalenbuurt 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.
