Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Slightly fewer offences are reported in total in Sluispolder Oost than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and still the safety pillar gets no further than a 4.6. The explanation lies in one type: violence here is more than twice the national median, while property crime and vandalism stay below it. Violence weighs the heaviest in that score, and then a favourable total does not help.

The 8.5 for families comes from the other side of the neighbourhood: a third of households have children at home and the primary school is five hundred metres away. What residents give up in return is reach beyond their own streets — the GP is a kilometre and a half away and the nearest station more than eleven.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sluispolder Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Sluispolder Oost comes out at 24 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 Sluispolder Oost?

In Sluispolder Oost the police recorded 103 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Sluispolder Oost calculated?

Sluispolder Oost scores 5.3 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 Sluispolder Oost 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.
