Everything close by, little to spend

The share of people on social assistance in the Florabuurt is many times above the national middle, and at the same time there are slightly more high-income households here than average. The 4.0 for wealth & income is therefore a story of extremes rather than of a neighbourhood that sits below the line everywhere; what really pulls the score down is property value.

For families things are better than the score suggests. The primary school is seven hundred metres away, and school distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar; that the score still does not rise is down to the modest share of households with children.

The station is the exception to all the short distances here: three kilometres, against a few hundred metres to a restaurant or a school.

Frequently asked questions

Is Florabuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Florabuurt comes out at 23 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 Florabuurt?

In Florabuurt the police recorded 42 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Florabuurt calculated?

Florabuurt scores 4.7 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 Florabuurt 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.
