Good for children, with a safety question

Duindorp is exceptionally quiet for a city neighbourhood — the noise level lies a good ten decibels below the national median — and still manages no more than a 4.6 for quiet. The explanation lies in the other components: many people live on little ground and the greenery around stays far below the national share.

The 3.8 for safety is of a different kind than in most city neighbourhoods. Not theft but violence and vandalism lie furthest above the median here, both at well over double; burglary is strikingly rare. The risk is on the street, not behind the front door. And there is another figure that stands out: the number of social assistance recipients lies five times as high as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, by far the largest deviation of all the wealth components.

Frequently asked questions

Is Duindorp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Duindorp comes out at 36 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 Duindorp?

In Duindorp the police recorded 265 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Duindorp calculated?

Duindorp scores 5.0 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 Duindorp 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.
