Well-off, schools and childcare further off

The tree canopy around the Komponistenbuurt is almost four times as dense as in the average Dutch neighbourhood — one of the highest values you will find in built-up land. That the quiet & nature pillar nonetheless stays at 6.5 comes from the noise level, more than four decibels above the national middle. Shade and silence do not coincide here.

Wealth & income stands broadly: property value well above the median, more households in the top income group than nationally, fewer in the bottom one, social assistance below the Dutch middle and virtually no vacancy. All four components point the same way, which at an 8.1 is rarely this unambiguous.

One figure deviates: burglaries here run four times above the national middle, while violence and theft stay below it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Komponistenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Komponistenbuurt comes out at 21 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 Komponistenbuurt?

In Komponistenbuurt the police recorded 47 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Komponistenbuurt calculated?

Komponistenbuurt scores 7.7 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 Komponistenbuurt 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.
