Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
More than a fifth of the area around Vondellaan-Zuid sits beneath a tree canopy, twice as much as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and two thirds counts as green. That the quiet & nature pillar still gets no further than 6.2 is down to noise, which comes out more than four decibels above the middle.
On safety the picture is mixed in a way the score does not show. Violence here sits exactly on the national median and theft below it, but burglaries and vandalism are both well above. The total therefore comes out higher than is usual nationally, and that is the 4.7.
The wealth & income pillar is pushed down by two things at once: a property value far below the Dutch middle and a top income group only half as broad as nationally.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vondellaan-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Vondellaan-Zuid comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Vondellaan-Zuid?
In Vondellaan-Zuid the police recorded 80 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Vondellaan-Zuid calculated?
Vondellaan-Zuid scores 5.2 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 Vondellaan-Zuid 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.
