Everything close by, little space

Almost a fifth of the homes in Willemspark are vacant, against a national median of four per cent. In a neighbourhood with a property value well above the median and a broad highest income group, that is the only component pointing the other way; without that vacancy the 7.7 for wealth & income would have stood higher.

A restaurant a hundred metres away and the primary school at five hundred explain the 8.2 for amenities. The families score of 7.1 leans on that same school distance, because few children live here: fewer than a sixth of households have them and three in five households consist of one person.

On safety the picture is mixed. Property crime and vandalism are above the national median, violence below it — that is the profile of a busy urban district where possessions go missing, not of a neighbourhood where you would rather stay indoors at night.

Frequently asked questions

Is Willemspark a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Willemspark comes out at 32 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 Willemspark?

In Willemspark the police recorded 126 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Willemspark calculated?

Willemspark scores 7.2 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 Willemspark 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.
