Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

In the Rode Dorp almost ten times as many people receive social assistance as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Together with a property value well below the national median and one in two households in the lowest income group, the wealth & income pillar sinks to 3.0.

Against that stands a 9.5 for families, and it comes almost entirely from distances: the primary school is three hundred metres away, the doctor and the station barely further. A third of households have children, which is around the national midpoint; so it is not the make-up of the population that produces this score.

On safety, vandalism stands out at almost three times the national median, while violence sits exactly on it. Theft is above the midpoint too, and together they yield a 4.2.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rode Dorp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rode Dorp comes out at 41 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rode Dorp 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 Rode Dorp?

In Rode Dorp the police recorded 137 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (41 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 Rode Dorp calculated?

Rode Dorp scores 5.4 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 Rode Dorp 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.
