Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Everything is three hundred metres away here: supermarket, GP and primary school. That yields an 8.4 for amenities and lifts the Florabuurt's families score to a 9.8, because school distance alone is nearly a third of that pillar.
Underneath lies a very different story. Wealth & income does not rise above a 2.5: the property value stays far below the national median, two thirds of households fall into the lowest income group and the number of social assistance payments per thousand residents is more than ten times the national median.
The safety score has a clear source too. Violence is almost five times the median, and that weighs heaviest within the pillar; residential burglary, by contrast, occurs less here than average. For anyone judging the neighbourhood page on the overall score: that overall figure rests on five pillars that lie far apart here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Florabuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Florabuurt comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Florabuurt 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 Florabuurt?
In Florabuurt the police recorded 93 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Florabuurt calculated?
Florabuurt scores 4.0 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 Florabuurt 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.
