Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Pijnacker Noord records fewer offences than the average Dutch neighbourhood, and still the safety pillar stops at 5.9. That is because the two most heavily weighted types, violence and burglary, are above the national level while property crime and vandalism stay below it. Here the total tells the wrong story.
The wealth & income pillar shows a similar skew. Property value, incomes and vacancy are close to or better than the national picture, but the social assistance rate is more than four times as high. That single component holds the score at 4.6, in an area where more than a third of households have children.

Frequently asked questions
Is Pijnacker Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Pijnacker Noord comes out at 21 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 Pijnacker Noord?
In Pijnacker Noord the police recorded 102 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Pijnacker Noord calculated?
Pijnacker Noord scores 7.2 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 Pijnacker 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.
