Everything close by, little space
With the supermarket two hundred metres away and the restaurant three hundred, Rozenprieel-zuid ranks among the three hundred best-served neighbourhoods in the country. The flip side is a density of more than fifteen thousand residents per square kilometre and greenery stuck at half the national level — hence the 3.6 for quiet & nature.
The wealth & income pillar sits at 5.7 and that score hides a tension. The income spread is favourable, with more high and fewer low incomes than nationally, and property values are above the median. But one in ten homes stands empty, more than twice the national middle, and the social assistance rate is almost three times the median.
Of the four offence types, violence and vandalism stay below the national middle, while burglary is at double it. That burglary figure is what keeps the safety pillar at 6.2 rather than higher — the total, after all, is barely above the median.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Rozenprieel-zuid comes out at 26 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-zuid?
In Rozenprieel-zuid the police recorded 78 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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-zuid calculated?
Rozenprieel-zuid scores 7.7 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-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.
