Everything close by, little to spend
More than fifty thousand residents per square kilometre makes Studentenflats Rode Kruislaan one of the most densely built places in the country, and yet the quiet & nature pillar reaches 4.3. Density is only a fifth of it, and the other components are favourable here: greenery within three hundred metres is well above the national median and tree canopy at one and a half times the middle.
The 3.3 for wealth & income is not a poverty figure but a life-stage figure. More than four in five households have a low income and one in a hundred a high one, while the social assistance rate is barely above the national median. That is the signature of a population still studying: little income, no benefits.
Ninety percent of households are single-person and virtually nobody here is over sixty-five. For the families pillar that means little, because it stands at 6.3 thanks to a primary school four hundred metres away — an amenity almost nobody here has any use for.

For 2025, Studentenflats Rode Kruislaan comes out at 20 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 Studentenflats Rode Kruislaan?
In Studentenflats Rode Kruislaan the police recorded 19 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Studentenflats Rode Kruislaan calculated?
Studentenflats Rode Kruislaan scores 5.0 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 Studentenflats Rode Kruislaan lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
