Everything close by, little space
Property value in Butterhuizen Noord sits almost exactly on the national median, and because that component carries the most weight in the wealth & income pillar, the pillar stalls at 6.2 despite an income distribution that is slightly better than the national one. What does differ is the rate of social assistance: more than twice the national level.
Not a single home here was built after 2000. Greenery within three hundred metres stays below the national median and so does the tree canopy share, while noise barely differs. So the 5.7 for quiet & nature comes from what stands and grows here, not from volume.
All four types of offence are at or below the national median: burglary exactly on it, the other three under it. That produces a 7.1 for safety with no outlier in either direction.

Frequently asked questions
Is Butterhuizen Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Butterhuizen Noord comes out at 18 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 Butterhuizen Noord?
In Butterhuizen Noord the police recorded 61 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Butterhuizen Noord calculated?
Butterhuizen Noord scores 8.2 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 Butterhuizen Noord 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.
