Everything for children close by, and little room

Almost a third of the surface of Nieuw-Guineabuurt is water, far more than in the median Dutch neighbourhood. Even so, the quiet & nature pillar gets stuck at 3.0. That water is comfortably drowned out by the rest: little greenery, hardly any trees, traffic noise above the median, and more than twelve thousand residents per square kilometre. One strong component does not rescue a pillar like this.

Safety, on the other hand, works out well. Violence, burglary and property crime are all three below the national middle — property crime by more than half — and only vandalism comes out slightly above. That is an unusual picture for a neighbourhood with this building density.

The school round the corner and the high share of households with children together produce an 8.3 for families. The station, almost three kilometres away, is the only thing holding the amenities score back.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nieuw-Guineabuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Nieuw-Guineabuurt comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Nieuw-Guineabuurt?

In Nieuw-Guineabuurt the police recorded 40 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Nieuw-Guineabuurt calculated?

Nieuw-Guineabuurt scores 8.0 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 Nieuw-Guineabuurt 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.
