Everything close by, little to spend

The social assistance rate in Magrietpark is nearly six times the national level and more than half of households are in the lowest income group. Together with a property value of a little over half the median that yields a 2.8 for wealth & income — every component of the pillar points the same way, except the low vacancy.

The 4.9 for safety has its own cause. Total reported offences in fact stay below the national median, but violence and vandalism both sit clearly above it, and those are precisely the components that weigh most in this pillar. Property crime and burglary stay below. What the neighbourhood sets against that is access: the station is a kilometre and a half away and shop, GP and school all within a kilometre, good for a 7.3 on amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Magrietpark a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Magrietpark comes out at 22 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 Magrietpark?

In Magrietpark the police recorded 49 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Magrietpark calculated?

Magrietpark scores 3.7 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 Magrietpark 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.
