Everything close by, little to spend
Supermarket, GP, restaurant and primary school in Crabbehof-Zuid are all half a kilometre away, and the railway station seven hundred metres. That is where the 9.6 for amenities comes from, a figure only a fraction of Dutch neighbourhoods achieve.
The 2.6 for wealth stands in the sharpest contrast to it. Social assistance use is extremely high here, a multiple of what is normal nationally, and property values do not reach half of the Dutch median. Earners at the top are scarce too. Together that produces one of the lowest wealth figures in the country, and registered crime runs at more than double the national figure.
The families figure of 9.1 calls for a caveat. It rests mainly on distances, and the primary school is around the corner; at the same time more than half of the households here consist of one person.

Frequently asked questions
Is Crabbehof-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Crabbehof-Zuid comes out at 52 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Crabbehof-Zuid 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-Zuid?
In Crabbehof-Zuid the police recorded 362 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (52 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-Zuid calculated?
Crabbehof-Zuid scores 3.7 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-Zuid 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.
