Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Violence in Overlanderstraat en omgeving runs at more than twice the national median and vandalism almost as high, while property offences stay below it. That is the reverse of the order you usually see in an urban neighbourhood with a lot of crime, and it pushes the safety pillar down to a 3.6.
The wealth & income pillar comes out at a 3.4. The social assistance rate here is more than six times the median and nine per cent of households belong to the top income group; only vacancy sits below the national median.
The 8.5 for families comes mainly from the primary school four hundred metres away, with a share of households with children around the national picture. In a neighbourhood with almost ten thousand residents per square kilometre that short distance is no coincidence.

Frequently asked questions
Is Overlanderstraat en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Overlanderstraat en omgeving comes out at 31 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 Overlanderstraat en omgeving?
In Overlanderstraat en omgeving the police recorded 171 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Overlanderstraat en omgeving calculated?
Overlanderstraat en omgeving scores 4.4 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 Overlanderstraat en omgeving 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.
