Everything close by, little to spend

The wealth pillar in Pearl Buck-erf en omgeving hangs on two figures pulling against each other. The share of low incomes is slightly below the national level and vacancy is practically nil, but property value stays far below the national median and the social assistance rate is more than four times the national level. The first two weigh too lightly to offset that.

With quiet and nature the reverse happens. Noise exposure here is below the national median, which is unusual at this density; that the pillar still gets no higher than 5.3 is down to greenery, which stays below the national level.

Violence is the component depressing the safety pillar: well above the middle, while burglary stays below it and property crime sits just above. A neighbourhood, then, where the reports are not only about belongings.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pearl Buck-erf en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Pearl Buck-erf en omgeving comes out at 27 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 Pearl Buck-erf en omgeving?

In Pearl Buck-erf en omgeving the police recorded 108 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Pearl Buck-erf en omgeving calculated?

Pearl Buck-erf en omgeving scores 4.9 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 Pearl Buck-erf 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.
