Everything close by, little to spend
Everything is around the corner in Spui: supermarket, GP and restaurant within half a kilometre and the station a little over a kilometre away, good for 9.2 on amenities. That makes the overall score of 4.5 all the more striking, because none of the other pillars comes out above the national middle.
Wealth & income is the weakest, and that holds almost across the board: property values are far below the national median, high incomes are thin on the ground, low incomes over-represented and the social assistance rate runs to more than three times the national middle. Only vacancy is entirely ordinary. Spui has also aged: nearly a third of residents are 65 or over, and the share of children stays below the national level.

Frequently asked questions
Is Spui a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Spui comes out at 21 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 Spui?
In Spui the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Spui calculated?
Spui scores 4.5 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 Spui 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.
