Kruiswiel

Everything for children close by, and little room
Kruiswiel ranks in the top three hundred in the Netherlands for families, with a 9.8. Almost half of households have children at home, nearly a quarter of residents are under fifteen and the primary school is four hundred metres away — here distance and population profile coincide for once.
Quiet & nature pays the bill. At 2.6 the neighbourhood is among the lowest in the country: noise is seven decibels above the national median, there is little greenery immediately around and no water at all. Safety, by contrast, is a 7.9, with all four crime types on or below the median except vandalism. So the overall 7.2 hides an area showing extremes on two pillars.
- no. 4,953 of 13,075 neighbourhoods with a grade

Frequently asked questions
Is Kruiswiel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kruiswiel comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Kruiswiel 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 Kruiswiel?
In Kruiswiel the police recorded 63 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Kruiswiel calculated?
Kruiswiel scores 7.2 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 Kruiswiel 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.
