Well-off, but not spacious
The lowest figure of Volgerlanden-Oost is quiet, and that does not come from noise: the noise level is virtually at the national middle. It lies in the greenery. Around the homes there is clearly less greenery and far less tree canopy to be found than usual, and water is absent altogether. Apart from the noise, every component of that pillar points the same way, with a 3.1 as the outcome.
Safety stands very differently with a 8.5, with one exception: burglary is registered twice as often here as nationally, while violence, theft and vandalism all three stay below it. With a 8.8 for wealth & income that is the only component out of tune.
Almost six in ten households have children — that is what the 8.3 for families rests on.

How much crime is there in Volgerlanden-Oost?
In Volgerlanden-Oost the police recorded 78 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 Volgerlanden-Oost calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Volgerlanden-Oost lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
