3,565 residents · postal code 2613 · Part of Hof van Delft, Delft
Everything close by, little space
Olofsbuurt scores 9.7 for amenities, and at almost eighteen thousand residents per square kilometre that is no accident: everything is within a few hundred metres, station included. The flip side is a 3.1 for quiet & nature, with greenery in the surroundings far below the national median while tree canopy sits slightly above it.
What stands out about the crime figures is how ordinary they are. Reported offences are below the Dutch middle, and violence and theft are both under it; only burglary and vandalism come out slightly above. For a neighbourhood this dense that is unusual.
The 4.9 for wealth & income is not about poverty in the broad sense: higher incomes are somewhat better represented here than nationally and the social assistance rate is practically on the median. It is property value and the share of lower incomes that weigh.

Frequently asked questions
Is Olofsbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Olofsbuurt 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 Olofsbuurt?
In Olofsbuurt the police recorded 102 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 Olofsbuurt calculated?
Olofsbuurt scores 7.0 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 Olofsbuurt 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.
