Top 12% in the Netherlands

Safe, but not spacious

Almost a quarter of Corlaer's residents are 65 or older and the share of children is below the national middle, yet the neighbourhood reaches 8.2 for families. That is because nearly two thirds of that pillar is about distance, and the primary school here is five hundred metres away. A high families score means access here, not a young population.

The 6.0 for amenities runs exactly the other way: the GP and the restaurant are more than a kilometre and a half off, and that weighs heavily. Safety stands at 9.4 with all four offence types on or below the national median. Wealth & income comes out at 7.6, carried by a property value well above the middle, while the income distribution barely departs from the national picture.

Frequently asked questions

Is Corlaer a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Corlaer comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Corlaer 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 Corlaer?

In Corlaer the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Corlaer calculated?

Corlaer scores 9.1 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 Corlaer 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.
