Everything close by, little to spend

Eleven thousand residents per square kilometre: Wippolder-Noord is densely built, and that can be read off almost every figure. The amenities are a stone's throw away, with supermarket, GP and primary school all three within three hundred metres, which produces a 9.8.

That short distance to school also lifts the families pillar to 8.4, even though only a fifth of households have children and almost six in ten households consist of one person. The figure here mainly measures accessibility, not who lives there.

The 3.9 for wealth & income points the same way across the board: a property value below the national median, more than half of households in the lowest income group, few high incomes and more vacancy than average. The sound level is far above the national middle, and that pushes the quiet & nature pillar down — the tree canopy, well above the median, can offer little against it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wippolder-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Wippolder-Noord 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 Wippolder-Noord?

In Wippolder-Noord the police recorded 60 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 Wippolder-Noord calculated?

Wippolder-Noord scores 8.3 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 Wippolder-Noord 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.
