neighbourhood in Delft
Aziëbuurt
2,500 residents · postal code 2622 · Part of Tanthof-West, Delft
Everything close by, little to spend
A 7.9 for quiet & nature in a neighbourhood with more than six thousand residents per square kilometre is unusual. In the Aziëbuurt it comes from the noise level, more than four decibels below the national median, and from the greenery around it, which is well above.
More than a quarter of residents are 65 or older and the share of children stays below the national middle; the 7.4 for families therefore comes from the short distance to the primary school and not from who lives here. Wealth & income stops at 5.6: the property value is slightly below the Dutch middle, the income distribution barely deviates and only vacancy is higher than average. Violence and theft stay well below the median and only burglary sits a little above it, which yields an 8.6 for safety.

Frequently asked questions
Is Aziëbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Aziëbuurt comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Aziëbuurt is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Aziëbuurt?
In Aziëbuurt the police recorded 39 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Aziëbuurt calculated?
Aziëbuurt scores 9.4 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 Aziëbuurt 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.
