Safe, but not spacious

Mossenest Noord sets a 9.7 for safety beside a 2.7 for quiet & nature, and those two have nothing to do with each other: crime is not part of the quiet pillar. The safety figure stands firm, because violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four below the national median, with burglary at close to zero.

The quiet pillar measures something else, and every component comes out unfavourably here: noise is more than five decibels above the national median, green and tree canopy below it, there is no surface water and almost six thousand people live per square kilometre. The 6.3 for families lags behind what the population would suggest, and that comes from distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mossenest Noord a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Mossenest Noord?

In Mossenest Noord the police recorded 25 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Mossenest Noord calculated?

Mossenest Noord scores 7.6 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 Mossenest Noord 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.
