Safe, but not spacious
Reijershove is among the two hundred safest neighbourhoods in the country: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four below the national median, burglary at a fraction of it. Hence the 9.9.
The 2.8 for quiet & nature stands out all the more sharply against that, and the two have nothing to do with each other — crime is not part of that pillar. What is part of it comes out badly here: greenery nearby stays well below the national median, the tree canopy is half what is usual, open water is absent and the built-up area is dense. Only the noise level sits just below the median.
The wealth figures are strikingly middling. The share of households on a high income sits exactly on the national median and the share on a low income just under it, while the property value stays clearly below. That last figure sets the 5.1.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reijershove a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Reijershove comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Reijershove is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Reijershove?
In Reijershove the police recorded 28 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Reijershove calculated?
Reijershove scores 8.1 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 Reijershove 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.
