Everything for children close by, and little room

Of all the figures for Frederiksoord-Noord, the 2.7 for quiet and nature stands out, and it is readily explained. The neighbourhood holds more than ten thousand residents per square kilometre, greenery within three hundred metres stays far below the national median, the tree canopy is thin and open water is absent. Four of the five components of that pillar point the same way.

The 9.8 for families is almost the mirror image. The primary school is three hundred metres away, and school distance is the heaviest component of that pillar. For anyone taking children to school, this is one of the shortest routes to be found in the Netherlands.

The wealth & income pillar is remarkably consistent: property value is above the national median, the share of high incomes is too, low incomes and vacancy are below it, and the social assistance rate is a fraction of the national figure. No component contradicts the others.

Frequently asked questions

Is Frederiksoord-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Frederiksoord-Noord comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Frederiksoord-Noord?

In Frederiksoord-Noord the police recorded 84 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Frederiksoord-Noord calculated?

Frederiksoord-Noord 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 Frederiksoord-Noord 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.
