Everything for children close by, and little room
Social assistance does not occur in the Rollecatekwartier, almost four in ten households have a high income and the share with a low income sits well below the national median. Together with property value above the median and little vacancy, that gives an 8.8 for wealth & income that no single component contradicts.
The 4.0 for quiet & nature is the figure that stands out, and it comes from noise and green: noise is four decibels above the national median and green in the surroundings stays below it, with almost five thousand residents per square kilometre. Among offences the total is below the national median and violence, property crime and vandalism all three stay under it; only burglary edges above, which keeps the safety figure at 6.6.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rollecatekwartier a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Rollecatekwartier comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Rollecatekwartier?
In Rollecatekwartier the police recorded 55 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Rollecatekwartier calculated?
Rollecatekwartier scores 9.5 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 Rollecatekwartier 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.
