Bottom 46% in the Netherlands

Everything for children close by, and little room

The quiet & nature pillar of the Indische buurt stands at 2.9, and it is not the noise — that sits only three decibels above the national median. It is the greenery: within three hundred metres it covers less than half the national share here, there is no open water and the tree canopy also stays below the median. Four of the five components depress the score together.

On safety the picture is one-sided. Property crime is recorded here half as often again as nationally, while violence, burglary and vandalism all three stay below it. Because violence and burglary together determine almost six tenths of the pillar, it holds up at 6.7.

Property value is below the median and there are a third fewer households on a high income than nationally; that is where the wealth & income pillar runs aground.

Frequently asked questions

Is Indische buurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Indische buurt 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 Indische buurt?

In Indische buurt the police recorded 78 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 Indische buurt calculated?

Indische buurt scores 5.9 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 Indische buurt 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.
