Safe, but not spacious

With a 9.6, Krijgsman ranks among the highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the country, and the wealth side carries most of that: property values run almost twice the national median, nearly half of all households are on a high income, and social assistance sits around the national median. One measurement deviates, and sharply: vacancy runs at more than double the national figure.

The practical bottleneck is reach to everyday things. GP, school, restaurant and station are all within four kilometres, but the nearest supermarket is over three kilometres away — for most households a car trip. In a neighbourhood where more than half of households have children and three in ten residents are under fifteen, that is the difference between popping out and planning a drive.

Frequently asked questions

Is Krijgsman a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Krijgsman?

In Krijgsman the police recorded 66 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 Krijgsman calculated?

Krijgsman scores 9.6 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 Krijgsman 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.
