Everything close by, little space

A fifth of the area within three hundred metres of Rozenprieel-noord is green, against more than half nationally. That is the sharpest figure behind the 3.2 for quiet & nature, together with fifteen thousand residents per square kilometre. Noise is only four decibels above the median, so din is not the problem here — space is.

Against that stands a 9.5 for amenities, with supermarket and restaurant four hundred metres away and the GP seven hundred. This is the trade-off you would expect in a nineteenth-century urban district, and it shows up in the figures too.

The safety pillar is better than the total offence figure suggests. That sits almost exactly at the national median, but violence and burglary — together nearly six tenths of the pillar — both stay below it. What is above the middle is property crime, and it carries little weight. For residents that mainly means keeping an eye on whatever is left outside.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rozenprieel-noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rozenprieel-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 Rozenprieel-noord?

In Rozenprieel-noord the police recorded 47 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 Rozenprieel-noord calculated?

Rozenprieel-noord scores 7.6 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 Rozenprieel-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.
