Safe, but not spacious
Every home in Marslanden was built after 2000, and that shows in the residents: more than half the households have children and few older people live here. The family score of 8.2 is therefore genuinely about families, and not only about distances.
The safety pillar comes out at 9.1, and it rests on the whole line: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are each below the national median. Burglary hardly occurs here at all.
What you give up sits in the amenities pillar, at 5.4. The GP is more than one and a half kilometres away, a restaurant about as far, and the primary school exactly a kilometre — short enough for the family score, but not around the corner. That space does not, incidentally, produce a high quiet & nature score: the noise level is above the national median and there is less greenery nearby than average.

Frequently asked questions
Is Marslanden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Marslanden comes out at 18 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 Marslanden?
In Marslanden the police recorded 101 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Marslanden calculated?
Marslanden scores 8.4 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 Marslanden 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.
