Top 20% in the Netherlands

Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 5.2 for wealth alongside a 8.6 as the overall score suggests poverty, but the incomes do not tell that story. The share of households in the top income group sits at the national level and the bottom group a fraction below it. What depresses Slikkerveer's score is the property value, by far the heaviest part of that pillar, plus a social assistance figure well above the Dutch middle.

More striking is the 7.0 for quiet in a neighbourhood with four thousand residents per square kilometre. The noise level stays below the median and well over an eighth of the surface is water; greenery, by contrast, is scarcer than nationally.

Anyone counting on the train here has more than six kilometres to cover. It is the only amenity not located in the neighbourhood itself: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant all stand within a kilometre.

Frequently asked questions

Is Slikkerveer a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Slikkerveer?

In Slikkerveer the police recorded 198 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Slikkerveer calculated?

Slikkerveer scores 8.6 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 Slikkerveer 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.
