Everything close by, little space

Burglary is the outlier in the Raadhuiskwartier: the figure runs more than twice above the national median, while property crime stays below it. In a neighbourhood where property values are above the median and a third of households have a high income, that is not a coincidental combination — there is something to take behind the front door here.

The 3.7 for quiet & nature comes from noise, almost five decibels above the national middle, and not from bareness: tree canopy here is well above the national picture. That is the counterpart of the 9.3 for amenities, where supermarket, GP, restaurant and school are all within half a kilometre. Close to everything here also means close to the traffic.

Frequently asked questions

Is Raadhuiskwartier a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Raadhuiskwartier comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Raadhuiskwartier?

In Raadhuiskwartier the police recorded 85 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Raadhuiskwartier calculated?

Raadhuiskwartier scores 7.7 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 Raadhuiskwartier 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.
