Everything close by, little space
Almost five times the national median in property offences: that single figure carries the crime rate of Philipsdorp, which as a whole runs nearly three times as high as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Violence and vandalism sit above it too, but it is the stolen goods that make the 2.7 for safety.
The quiet & nature pillar lands on a 2.6, and the reason is in the surroundings: under a quarter of what lies within three hundred metres is green, against more than half nationally, and the noise level is above the median. On wealth the measurements contradict each other — high incomes are more common than nationally and low incomes less so, while property values lag and social assistance runs almost three times as high. Two thirds of households here live alone.

Frequently asked questions
Is Philipsdorp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Philipsdorp comes out at 67 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Philipsdorp is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Philipsdorp?
In Philipsdorp the police recorded 365 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (67 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 Philipsdorp calculated?
Philipsdorp scores 3.3 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 Philipsdorp 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.
