Everything close by, little space
The 9.6 for amenities and the 9.6 for families in Transvaalkwartier-Noord both come from distance: the supermarket and the GP surgery are around the corner, and so is the primary school. Those figures say little beyond that. What they do not show sits in the wealth & income pillar, where every component points the same way — property value, high and low incomes, benefits and even the vacancy rate, with a social assistance rate fourteen times the national median. So the 2.6 does not rest on a single weak point.
The crime profile differs from what such figures lead you to expect. Burglaries here are far below the national median, while violence and vandalism sit well above it. The risk is outside the front door, not behind it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Transvaalkwartier-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Transvaalkwartier-Noord comes out at 35 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 Transvaalkwartier-Noord?
In Transvaalkwartier-Noord the police recorded 218 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (35 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 Transvaalkwartier-Noord calculated?
Transvaalkwartier-Noord scores 4.1 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 Transvaalkwartier-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.
