Safe, but not spacious

Four in five homes in Noordkil Kwartier were built after the turn of the century, and the neighbourhood has the location that goes with it: the station is just over one and a half kilometres away, but the GP more than two. That single distance keeps the amenities pillar at 5.6 while the school is around the corner.

The number of reported offences here stays below half the national median, and violence, burglary and property crime are all under the national figure; only vandalism sits exactly on it. That produces a 9.5 for safety. The wealth & income pillar stands at 7.2, and that is not down to property values — which are almost exactly on the national median — but to incomes: more high ones, fewer low ones and little social assistance.

Frequently asked questions

Is Noordkil Kwartier a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Noordkil Kwartier?

In Noordkil Kwartier the police recorded 16 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Noordkil Kwartier calculated?

Noordkil Kwartier scores 8.9 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 Noordkil Kwartier 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.
