Everything close by, little space

Of all the figures for Rochusbuurt, the quiet & nature pillar is the most telling: a 2.6, near the bottom of the national list. The green in the immediate surroundings does not reach half the national middle, noise is well above it, and more than twelve thousand people live per square kilometre. There is no water at all.

Against that stands 9.5 for amenities. Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within half a kilometre. That is the classic trade of an old city neighbourhood, and it comes out more extreme here than usual.

The 7.4 for families comes entirely from the short school distance and not from the population: one in ten households has children, while more than seventy per cent consists of one person. Anyone looking for a school around the corner will find one, but not the neighbourhood full of playmates the figure suggests.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rochusbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rochusbuurt comes out at 26 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 Rochusbuurt?

In Rochusbuurt the police recorded 72 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Rochusbuurt calculated?

Rochusbuurt scores 4.9 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 Rochusbuurt 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.
