Well-off, but not carefree
Property values in Sandelingen-Ambacht sit at more than twice the national median, and that is where the 9.6 for wealth & income comes from; that single component is by far the heaviest one in the pillar. The picture is not entirely consistent, because vacancy here is far above the national figure — the one component pointing the other way.
The 4.4 for safety needs a caveat the table does not give. Two hundred and sixty-five people live here, so every reported offence weighs heavily in a figure per thousand residents. The four listed offence types together account for less than a third of the registered total, so no single type explains this score. More practical to know: the supermarket is just over a kilometre away and the station a good deal further, in a neighbourhood with barely more than a hundred residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sandelingen-Ambacht a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Sandelingen-Ambacht comes out at 54 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Sandelingen-Ambacht is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Sandelingen-Ambacht?
In Sandelingen-Ambacht the police recorded 33 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (54 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 Sandelingen-Ambacht calculated?
Sandelingen-Ambacht scores 8.2 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 Sandelingen-Ambacht 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.
