Everything close by, little space

Sixty-two decibels Lden, well above the national median, is the hardest fact about the Uitvindersbuurt. Together with little greenery around and a high density that produces a 2.7 for quiet & nature, the lowest figure here. For anyone moving in that is no detail: noise of this order is audible indoors.

Against that, everything is within five hundred metres: a 9.4 for amenities and a 9.3 for families, both largely explained by short distances. The 4.2 for safety does not come from violence — that stays below the national median — but from theft and vandalism, which are both well above it. And wealth & income sticks at 4.0, with a social assistance rate far exceeding the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Uitvindersbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Uitvindersbuurt comes out at 36 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 Uitvindersbuurt?

In Uitvindersbuurt the police recorded 126 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Uitvindersbuurt calculated?

Uitvindersbuurt scores 5.4 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 Uitvindersbuurt 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.
