Everything close by, little space

The safety figure for Nautena-noord/Havenstraat, a 6.8, does not match the total number of registrations: that sits clearly below the national middle. The explanation is the type of offence. Violent crime occurs here more often than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, while property crime and vandalism are rare, and violence weighs heaviest in this pillar.

The 3.0 for quiet & nature comes from the other side: this is densely built-up ground with strikingly little greenery within three hundred metres. Against that stands an 8.9 for families, which rests mainly on the primary school around the corner; more than a third of households have children. What drags the wealth & income figure down to 4.9 is the share of social assistance, almost three times the national level, alongside a property value that barely deviates from the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nautena-noord/Havenstraat a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Nautena-noord/Havenstraat?

In Nautena-noord/Havenstraat the police recorded 28 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Nautena-noord/Havenstraat calculated?

Nautena-noord/Havenstraat scores 7.7 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 Nautena-noord/Havenstraat 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.
