Top 2% in the Netherlands

Everything for children close by, and little room

With a 9.9, Kleverpark-zuid ranks among the two hundred highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, and its most striking figure is one that stands at zero: social assistance does not appear in the statistics here. Combined with a property value well above the Dutch middle and almost four in ten households in the highest income group, that explains the 9.5 for wealth & income.

Among offences little deviates: theft sits slightly above the national middle and vandalism well above, while violence stays below it and burglary is virtually absent. The 7.9 for safety is therefore largely down to the lightest item in that pillar.

Quiet & nature, at a 3.0, is the pronounced weak point, and that is the bill for the location. More than ten thousand residents per square kilometre, greenery in the close surroundings well below the national middle and no surface water. Set against it, GP, school, supermarket and station are all within one and a half kilometres, which carries the 9.9 for families.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kleverpark-zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kleverpark-zuid comes out at 25 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-zuid?

In Kleverpark-zuid the police recorded 105 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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-zuid calculated?

Kleverpark-zuid 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-zuid 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.
