Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Kortland-Noord counts fewer registered offences than the average Dutch neighbourhood and still gets no more than a 5.4 for safety. That is not a design fault but a matter of composition: only theft stays below the national value, while violence, burglary and vandalism are all three above it - and violence and burglary together determine the largest part of that pillar.
And yet there stands a 8.4 for families, in a neighbourhood where almost three in ten residents have passed 65: the primary school is five hundred metres away. For wealth a 4.2 remains. The property value comes out far below the Dutch middle and the social assistance share is three times the national value, while the income distribution has shifted towards the bottom.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kortland-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kortland-Noord comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kortland-Noord?
In Kortland-Noord the police recorded 202 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Kortland-Noord calculated?
Kortland-Noord scores 6.0 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 Kortland-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.
