Everything close by, little to spend
Everything in Crabbehof-Noord is within a kilometre: supermarket, GP, primary school, restaurant and the station. That produces a 9.5 for amenities, and it is the only pillar where the neighbourhood comes out above the national middle.
The 2.7 for wealth & income comes from almost every direction at once. The property value is at roughly half the national median, the social assistance rate at more than eight times the national level and the share of high incomes is small; only vacancy is exactly at the national level. Among the offences all four types come out above the median, violence and property crime most clearly, which keeps the safety pillar at 3.2.
The 3.5 for quiet & nature fits more than nine thousand residents per square kilometre and a sound level far above the national middle. The tree canopy here is in fact well above average — the trees are there, the space is not.

Frequently asked questions
Is Crabbehof-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Crabbehof-Noord comes out at 39 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Crabbehof-Noord 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 Crabbehof-Noord?
In Crabbehof-Noord the police recorded 116 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (39 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 Crabbehof-Noord calculated?
Crabbehof-Noord scores 3.1 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 Crabbehof-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.
