Everything for children close by, and little room

Kleverpark-noord is among the hundred and fifty highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the country and at the same time has a 5.9 for safety. That is not a contradiction but a split: property crime here lies above the national median while violence stays clearly below it. That is the profile of a dense urban neighbourhood where things disappear, not of a place where you would rather stay indoors at night.

The real weakness is elsewhere: quiet & nature comes out at a 4.5, with a noise level well above the Dutch middle and greenery in the surroundings below it. Against that stands a families pillar of 10.0, among the hundred highest in the Netherlands, and it holds from two sides: the primary school is three hundred metres away and well over four in ten households have children. That the wealth & income pillar reaches a 9.6 with no recorded social assistance at all makes this a neighbourhood where family life and money are both present, and silence is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kleverpark-noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kleverpark-noord comes out at 24 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 Kleverpark-noord?

In Kleverpark-noord the police recorded 100 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Kleverpark-noord calculated?

Kleverpark-noord scores 9.9 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 Kleverpark-noord 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.
