Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 9.5 for families and a 3.0 for wealth & income in the same streets: Dokkum Fonteinslanden combines a lot of rented homes with a school around the corner. Two thirds of the homes are rented, property value is far below the national median and the social assistance rate is seven times the median. That last figure is the most telling on this page.

The high families score comes from distances — the primary school is three hundred metres away — and not from the population make-up: the share of children is around the national picture.

Reported offences follow the national total almost exactly, but not in the same proportions. Vandalism here is a good twice above the median and burglary far below it. What goes wrong here happens outdoors, to things that belong to no one personally.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dokkum Fonteinslanden a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Dokkum Fonteinslanden 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 Dokkum Fonteinslanden?

In Dokkum Fonteinslanden the police recorded 47 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 Dokkum Fonteinslanden calculated?

Dokkum Fonteinslanden scores 5.8 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 Dokkum Fonteinslanden 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.
