Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The Componistenbuurt has an income distribution slightly more favourable than national, social assistance below the median and average vacancy — and yet wealth & income stalls at 5.5. That is down to property value: it accounts for almost four tenths of the pillar and is below the national middle here.
The quiet & nature figure of 7.1 is remarkable for a densely built place. The explanation lies in the trees: the tree canopy nearby is almost three times as dense as nationally, and the noise level is below the median.
On safety, only burglary is above the national middle; violence, property crime and vandalism stay below it. With almost two thousand residents that gap is too wide for chance.

Frequently asked questions
Is Componistenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Componistenbuurt comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Componistenbuurt?
In Componistenbuurt the police recorded 40 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Componistenbuurt calculated?
Componistenbuurt scores 8.8 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 Componistenbuurt 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.
