Everything for children close by, and little room

Krooswijk records roughly as many offences as the average Dutch neighbourhood, and still comes out at a 4.8 for safety. That is down to the distribution: burglary here is double the national median and vandalism well above it, while violence stays just below. An average total can produce an unfavourable figure if it sits in the wrong categories.

The 8.7 for families rests on firmer ground than most: the primary school is nearby and almost four in ten households have children.

Quiet & nature stays at a 4.4. Greenery and trees nearby are both below the national median and it is a little louder than average. The green picture that goes with this many family homes is not what the measurements show.

Frequently asked questions

Is Krooswijk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Krooswijk 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 Krooswijk?

In Krooswijk the police recorded 114 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 Krooswijk calculated?

Krooswijk scores 6.2 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 Krooswijk 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.
