Rosenburg
3,245 residents · postal code 2555 · Part of Waldeck, Den Haag
Everything close by, safety lags
The violence rate in Rosenburg is nearly five times the national median, and that figure sets the tone for the whole page: violence carries the most weight in the safety pillar. Property crime is far above it too. So this is not the familiar urban pattern of things going missing; here the reports are about people as well.
The 5.4 for families comes from another direction. The primary school is eight hundred metres away, so distance is not the cause. It lies in who lives here: almost six in ten households are single-person, a third of residents are 65 or over, and the share of children stays well below the national middle.
Strikingly, quiet and nature is the strongest pillar here. The tree canopy is nearly double the national median — crime does not count in that pillar at all, and that is exactly why the two figures lie so far apart.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rosenburg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Rosenburg comes out at 64 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rosenburg is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Rosenburg?
In Rosenburg the police recorded 299 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (64 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 Rosenburg calculated?
Rosenburg scores 3.3 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 Rosenburg 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.
