Everything close by, little to spend

Two scores of 3.2, for safety and for wealth & income, next to a 9.6 for amenities. That 9.6 is pure distance: supermarket, GP and restaurant are within half a kilometre and the station at two.

The safety score comes from three directions at once. Violence, property crime and vandalism are all above the national median, property crime at more than one and a half times it; only residential burglary stays close. That is a broader pattern than a single outlier, and it cannot be pinned on one type.

What stands out in Kuyperwijk-Zuid and appears nowhere in the overall score is the tree canopy: within three hundred metres it covers twice as much as nationally. For the quiet & nature pillar that is one of five equally weighted components, and density and noise push the other way — hence a 4.0.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kuyperwijk-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kuyperwijk-Zuid comes out at 34 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Kuyperwijk-Zuid?

In Kuyperwijk-Zuid the police recorded 83 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Kuyperwijk-Zuid calculated?

Kuyperwijk-Zuid scores 4.4 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 Kuyperwijk-Zuid 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.
