Everything for children close by, and nowhere weak

Not a single pillar in Dubbeldam-Zuid comes out below 7.5, and that is rarer than an outlier upwards. Most neighbourhoods pay for a high figure somewhere with a low figure elsewhere; here that does not happen, and that is where the overall score of 9.6 comes from.

The age structure is the second thing that stands out. A good quarter of residents are 65 or over, while the share of children lies above the Dutch median at the same time. For the families figure it helps that the primary school is a few minutes' walk away.

The wealth score leans on property values, which come out well above the national figure, and on a top income group that is broader here than usual. Only social assistance deviates slightly the other way. Theft, meanwhile, is barely present, less than half of what is normal elsewhere; that pulls the safety pillar up, despite burglary figures that lie at the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dubbeldam-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Dubbeldam-Zuid comes out at 17 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 Dubbeldam-Zuid?

In Dubbeldam-Zuid the police recorded 112 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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-Zuid calculated?

Dubbeldam-Zuid scores 9.6 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-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.
