Everything close by, little to spend

Jutphaas scores a 4.6 on safety while the quiet & nature pillar reaches a 7.6, and that is less contradictory than it looks: crime does not feature in the quiet figure. The latter comes from trees — more than seventeen per cent canopy within three hundred metres, double the national rate — and from a noise level below the median.

The 4.6 comes mainly from property crime, at almost twice the middle, with violence alongside it well above the median. Burglary, by contrast, far below.

The wealth & income figure of 4.5 cannot be read in one direction. Property values below the national middle and social assistance at more than twice the median pull it down, but the share of low incomes sits exactly on the national middle and the share of high incomes just under it. That is an ordinary income spread with an unusual bottom end. The station, almost seven kilometres away, is the one amenity missing here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Jutphaas a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Jutphaas comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Jutphaas?

In Jutphaas the police recorded 103 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Jutphaas calculated?

Jutphaas scores 7.1 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 Jutphaas 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.
