Everything close by, little to spend
Eleven per cent of the property in Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat en omgeving stands empty, almost three times the national figure. That is not atmosphere but a component of the wealth & income pillar, and it comes on top of a property value far below the Dutch median, a social assistance rate that is a multiple of it, and a bottom income group covering half of all households. The resulting 2.5 ranks among the lowest in the country.
On safety, nothing points the other way either: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all sit above the national middle.
Against that stands a 9.1 for amenities, with shop and restaurant four hundred metres away. That figure measures distance only, and distance is the one thing this neighbourhood scores well on.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

That is high: Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat 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 Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat en omgeving?
In Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat en omgeving the police recorded 129 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (41 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 Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat en omgeving calculated?
Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat en omgeving scores 3.4 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 Vogelplein-Aalscholverstraat 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.
