Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Of the offences reported in Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03, the vast majority are property crime: more than four times the national median, and two thirds of all reports here. That largely explains the 4.2 for safety, but not entirely — the violence figure is also above the median, and violence carries the most weight in that pillar. Burglary, by contrast, barely occurs here.

The second weak pillar is wealth & income, and all four of its components point the wrong way: property value lags far behind, social assistance runs at almost three times the national rate, the top income group is thin and the bottom one broad. Set against those two is a school walk of four hundred metres, which lifts the families pillar well above the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03 a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03 comes out at 58 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03 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 Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03?

In Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03 the police recorded 141 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (58 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 Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03 calculated?

Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03 scores 5.9 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 Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 03 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.
