Safe, but not spacious

Burglary is the only offence type in Camminghaburen-Zuid above the national median, at roughly four times it. Violence, theft and vandalism all three sit below. That the safety pillar still comes out at a 7.2 shows how much the weight of violence determines the picture.

The wealth pillar is favourable across almost the whole board: many high incomes, few low ones, hardly any social assistance and virtually no vacancy. Only property value stays below the national median, and that is precisely the component that weighs most — hence a 6.9 rather than an eight.

The primary school is seven hundred metres away, but the families score gets no further than a 7.2. That lies with the residents: almost three in ten are over sixty-five and only an eighth are under fifteen.

Frequently asked questions

Is Camminghaburen-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Camminghaburen-Zuid comes out at 18 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 Camminghaburen-Zuid?

In Camminghaburen-Zuid the police recorded 53 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Camminghaburen-Zuid calculated?

Camminghaburen-Zuid scores 7.5 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 Camminghaburen-Zuid 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.
