Everything close by, little space
Property values in Koninginnebuurt sit at almost double the national median, and because that is by far the heaviest component of the wealth pillar, it comes out at a 9.3. The income distribution and the social assistance rate point the same way; only vacancy is above the national level.
Among reported offences, property crime is the only type rising above the national median. Violence, burglary and criminal damage are all three below it, and the total stays below as well — an 8.2, making this one of the few neighbourhoods combining high house prices with a low crime figure.
Quiet & nature is the exception to an overall 9.8. Greenery within three hundred metres stays well below the national median and noise is above it; the tree canopy is the only component that helps. That produces a 4.2.

Frequently asked questions
Is Koninginnebuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Koninginnebuurt comes out at 22 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 Koninginnebuurt?
In Koninginnebuurt the police recorded 110 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Koninginnebuurt calculated?
Koninginnebuurt scores 9.8 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 Koninginnebuurt 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.
