Plenty of space, less prosperity

Noise exposure in Jubbega is a good ten decibels below the national median, and four fifths of the surface within three hundred metres is green. That is not a detail but the heart of the 9.5 for quiet and nature, and it is rarer than a low run of crime figures.

The bill arrives in the amenities pillar. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are all a good kilometre and a half away and the station more than sixteen. Anyone without a car is stuck here, and that is the kind of information a score of 3.9 indicates but does not explain.

The wealth pillar leaves no room for nuance: property value stays far below the national median, the share of high incomes is small, that of low incomes large, and social assistance more than double the national level. Only vacancy lands on the national middle. Four components point down, one stays neutral.

Frequently asked questions

Is Jubbega a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Jubbega comes out at 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Jubbega is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Jubbega?

In Jubbega the police recorded 46 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Jubbega calculated?

Jubbega scores 5.7 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 Jubbega 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.
