Everything close by, little space
Four of the five pillars in Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving stay below the national median, and yet there is one outlier upwards: a 9.6 for amenities, with supermarket, restaurant and station all a short distance away.
On wealth & income the picture is more mixed than the 3.6 suggests. The lowest income group is even slightly narrower here than nationally and the highest only modestly thinner; what drags the score down is the property value, far below the median, and the vacancy rate, which sits well above it.
The safety score of 3.6 has no consolation anywhere: violence is more than twice the national median, property crime one and a half times and vandalism more than double. Only residential burglary stays just under, and that is the second heaviest component of the pillar.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving comes out at 39 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving 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 Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving?
In Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving the police recorded 104 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 Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving calculated?
Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving scores 3.8 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 Jacob Catsstraat en omgeving 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.
