Bottom 2% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

The share of high incomes in Statenkwartier lies close to the national picture, but the lowest income group covers more than half of households. So the middle group is thin here. With a property value below the national middle and a vacancy rate of more than three times the Dutch figure, wealth comes out at a 3.2.

The great majority of households consist of one person and barely one in ten of a family. That is where the 4.8 for families comes from, and not from the distances: the primary school is close by.

On safety violence is the outlier, well over twice the national figure, and theft likewise lies far above it. A 2.8 beside a 9.1 for amenities — the pattern of a densely populated central neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Is Statenkwartier a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Statenkwartier comes out at 54 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Statenkwartier is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Statenkwartier?

In Statenkwartier the police recorded 380 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (54 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 Statenkwartier calculated?

Statenkwartier scores 2.6 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 Statenkwartier 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.
