Safe, but not spacious

Almost twelve thousand residents per square kilometre, and still a 9.0 for safety: in Kruidenbuurt violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four below the national median. Density and crime do not move together here, which is not something you often see in a city neighbourhood of this size.

What that density does cost is quiet: with little greenery in the immediate surroundings that pillar gets stuck at 3.2. And wealth & income, a 5.3, cannot be summed up in one direction — property value sits exactly on the national median and so does the share of low incomes, while the top income bracket is broader than nationally but social assistance is almost four times as common. So two components point nowhere and the other two point against each other.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kruidenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kruidenbuurt comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Kruidenbuurt?

In Kruidenbuurt the police recorded 93 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Kruidenbuurt calculated?

Kruidenbuurt scores 8.3 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 Kruidenbuurt 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.
