Safe, but everything is a drive away
Violence and burglary barely occur in De Noord — both at a fraction of the national median, and together they are the two components that shape the safety pillar most strongly. That is where the 9.9 comes from.
Amenities lag behind at 5.3. The GP is over two kilometres away and the supermarket one and a half; the station, at less than three kilometres, is actually close.
On wealth & income, property value does the least work. It is only slightly above the national median, while the top income group is almost one and a half times as broad as national, the bottom one narrower, and both social assistance and vacancy are low. That is how an 8.5 comes about without exceptionally expensive homes.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Noord comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Noord 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 De Noord?
In De Noord the police recorded 28 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 De Noord calculated?
De Noord scores 9.6 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 De 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.
