Good for children, with a safety question

Rielerweg-Oost scores 7.5 for quiet & nature while all four offence types sit above the national median. That is not a contradiction but a consequence of how the pillar is built: crime is not in it at all, only density, noise, greenery, trees and water. Almost a seventh of the surface here is water, and that lifts the score.

The safety pillar drops separately to 2.8, and that is earned right across: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are every one of them raised, burglary at nearly four times the national middle. What pushes wealth down is mainly social assistance, at over four times the median, against a property value far below it. Nearly three in ten homes were built after 2000, so this is not a neighbourhood that stood still.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rielerweg-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rielerweg-Oost comes out at 43 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rielerweg-Oost 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 Rielerweg-Oost?

In Rielerweg-Oost the police recorded 110 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (43 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 Rielerweg-Oost calculated?

Rielerweg-Oost scores 3.9 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 Rielerweg-Oost 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.
