Everything close by, safety lags
The 2.7 for safety in Duivendrecht does not come from stolen possessions alone. All four registered types lie above the national middle, and it is precisely the component that carries the most weight that stands out: violent offences occur three times as often here as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Burglary and vandalism lie above it too. Anyone who reads this figure as mainly theft is reading it wrong.
The wealth side is divided, and that is what the figure of 6.2 hides. The property value lies above the national level and the share of households at the top of the income ladder is larger than usual, while the social assistance density there amounts to three times the national middle. Both movements count in the same pillar, which as a result comes out exactly in the middle — for two opposing reasons.

Frequently asked questions
Is Duivendrecht a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Duivendrecht comes out at 52 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Duivendrecht is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Duivendrecht?
In Duivendrecht the police recorded 511 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (52 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 Duivendrecht calculated?
Duivendrecht scores 4.9 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 Duivendrecht 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.
