Everything for children close by, and little room
The primary school in Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt is two hundred metres away and four in ten households have children — the families score comes out at 9.9. Few neighbourhoods combine distances this short with a share of children this high.
The safety picture inverts the usual city-centre ratio. Property offences are below the national median, but violence is almost three times above it and burglary more than three times; vandalism too occurs twice as often. Those are exactly the types that count heaviest in this pillar, and that explains the 3.2.
Quiet & nature is the weakest pillar after safety. The share of greenery within walking distance stays far below the national middle, noise levels are above it, and population density is high for a neighbourhood consisting almost entirely of single-family homes.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt comes out at 27 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 Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt?
In Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt the police recorded 32 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt calculated?
Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt scores 4.7 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 Zeestromen en Slotenbuurt 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.
