Everything for children close by, and little room

Practically the entire housing stock of Parijsch Vlinderbuurt was built after 2000, and the 3.0 for quiet & nature shows what that costs. It is not the noise: the level is only slightly above the national middle. It is the greenery. Less than a fifth of the surroundings reach the average Dutch tree canopy, and the green share stays a good ten points under the median, at more than five thousand residents per square kilometre.

The age profile is the second surprise. A quarter of residents are 65 or older and a fifth under fifteen — a new-build neighbourhood holding both ends rather than only the young one. The 8.2 for families therefore comes as much from the primary school five hundred metres away as from the children themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Is Parijsch Vlinderbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Parijsch Vlinderbuurt comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Parijsch Vlinderbuurt?

In Parijsch Vlinderbuurt the police recorded 48 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Parijsch Vlinderbuurt calculated?

Parijsch Vlinderbuurt scores 7.8 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 Parijsch Vlinderbuurt 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.
