Safe, but not spacious

Het Jeurlink is newly built ground, and that shows in almost every figure except wealth & income. Property value stays just below the national median, while high incomes are more amply and low incomes more thinly represented than nationally and vacancy is close to zero. Four of the five components point upward and still the pillar gets no further than a 6.7 — there you see how heavily property value counts in it.

Safety is solid at an 8.4. Burglary, theft and vandalism all stay well below the national median; only violence edges marginally above it, too little to tip the picture.

What stands out is the combination of many families with moderate closeness. Half of households have children, but the primary school is a good kilometre away, as is the supermarket. So in the families score of 8.1 the gain comes from who lives here, not from how short the walk is — the reverse of most neighbourhoods with such a score.

Frequently asked questions

Is Het Jeurlink a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Het Jeurlink?

In Het Jeurlink the police recorded 18 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Het Jeurlink calculated?

Het Jeurlink scores 8.8 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 Het Jeurlink 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.
