Safe, but everything is a drive away
All four offence types in Zuidbuurt sit below the national median, burglary at a mere fraction of it. A 9.6 for safety is no surprise after that.
Wealth & income, an 8.4, is strong across the board: property values well above the median, more households on a high income than nationally, fewer on a low one, and both social assistance and vacancy under the Dutch middle. That kind of even picture is uncommon.
Even so, quiet & nature stalls at a 5.8, while nearly two thirds of the surroundings are green. The explanation lies in the other components: noise is above the national median, there is no water, and density runs up to over four thousand residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zuidbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zuidbuurt comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zuidbuurt is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Zuidbuurt?
In Zuidbuurt the police recorded 80 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Zuidbuurt calculated?
Zuidbuurt scores 9.3 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 Zuidbuurt 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.
