Everything for children close by, and nowhere weak

Dijkpolder reaches a 9.8 as an overall score because no pillar really collapses: the lowest two hold at a 6.8, while safety, amenities and families all come out high. Neighbourhoods that excel on one point are common; neighbourhoods without a weak spot are not.

The 9.5 for families rests on short distances — school, shop and GP all within six hundred metres — and on the population, since close to half the households have children.

The wealth & income pillar is the only one with a skewed component. Property values are well above the national median and so is the share of households on a high income, but the rate of social assistance is more than double the national level. That is why there is a 6.8 where house prices would suggest something higher, and it is a difference probably more visible in the neighbourhood itself than in the overall score.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dijkpolder a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Dijkpolder comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Dijkpolder?

In Dijkpolder the police recorded 21 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Dijkpolder calculated?

Dijkpolder scores 9.8 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 Dijkpolder 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.
