Safe, but not spacious

Trekvaart is among the two hundred safest neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, and that is not a matter of one favourable figure: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four below the national median. With more than two thousand residents, that is not a lucky result from a handful of reports.

The 7.3 for wealth & income rests mainly on property value and on a social assistance rate far below the median; the income distribution itself barely differs from the national one, with the bottom group exactly at the median. So this is not a neighbourhood of high incomes but of expensive houses and few benefits. What else stands out is the age profile: more than a quarter of residents are under fifteen, well above the national figure, and together with the short school distance that explains the 9.6 for families.

Frequently asked questions

Is Trekvaart a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Trekvaart?

In Trekvaart the police recorded 24 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 Trekvaart calculated?

Trekvaart scores 9.9 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 Trekvaart 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.
