Everything close by, safety lags

More than a third of the residents of the Componistenbuurt are 65 or older and fewer than an eighth of the homes are single-family houses. That there is still a 7.2 for families comes from the distances: supermarket, GP and primary school are all within half a kilometre.

The tree canopy is the most striking figure here that appears nowhere in the overall score. Within three hundred metres it covers more than twice the national level, and greenery too is above the median — unusual at more than twelve thousand residents per square kilometre. Even so, quiet & nature stays at a 4.9, because density itself carries equal weight.

Safety comes out at a 4.5. Total reported offences are only slightly above the national median, but residential burglary is more than twice it, and after violence that is the heaviest component of the pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Componistenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Componistenbuurt comes out at 29 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 Componistenbuurt?

In Componistenbuurt the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (29 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 Componistenbuurt calculated?

Componistenbuurt scores 7.3 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 Componistenbuurt 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.
