Everything close by, little space

Almost five times the national median: that is how much burglary is registered in Vogelbuurt. Even so, the safety pillar lands on 7.0, because violence, property crime and vandalism are all below it — the total number of reports even stays under the national median. Residents here mainly have to deal with the lock on the door.

The wealth & income pillar reads less favourably. Social assistance at almost three times the national figure, property values below it and few high incomes together produce a 4.7; only vacancy, close to zero here, points the other way. Quiet & nature lags at 3.6, and that comes not from noise but from what is absent: less greenery within three hundred metres than is usual nationally, and no open water.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vogelbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vogelbuurt comes out at 23 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 Vogelbuurt?

In Vogelbuurt the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Vogelbuurt calculated?

Vogelbuurt scores 6.2 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 Vogelbuurt 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.
