Everything close by, safety lags

The safety figure of Dubbeldam-Noord, a 4.7, comes almost entirely from theft and burglary. Property offences lie at almost double the national figure here and burglaries likewise well above it, while violence and vandalism stay below it instead. This is a neighbourhood where things go missing, not a neighbourhood where things go wrong in the street at night.

The 5.5 for wealth is a fair middle. High and low incomes are roughly as common as elsewhere in the country and social assistance use sits exactly at the national level; property values stay slightly below it and vacancy lies slightly above it. Not one component pulls this figure either way.

What carries the 7.1 for families is the short distance to school, not the population: almost a third of residents are 65 or over and children are thin on the ground here instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dubbeldam-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Dubbeldam-Noord comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Dubbeldam-Noord?

In Dubbeldam-Noord the police recorded 212 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Dubbeldam-Noord calculated?

Dubbeldam-Noord scores 6.8 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 Dubbeldam-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.
