Everything close by, safety lags
Greenery within three hundred metres in the Kleurenbuurt is above the national level and the tree canopy more than double it, and yet quiet and nature gets no further than a 4.7. That is down to the other side of the pillar: almost ten thousand residents per square kilometre, no open water and noise well above the national median.
On safety there is no mitigating circumstance. Vandalism, burglary, violence and theft all four sit above the median, so no single type can be singled out to explain the 2.8 on its own.
Here the low families score does come partly from distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, the heaviest component of that pillar. On top of that, only a little over a fifth of households have children and almost three in ten residents are over sixty-five.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kleurenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kleurenbuurt comes out at 35 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 Kleurenbuurt?
In Kleurenbuurt the police recorded 121 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (35 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 Kleurenbuurt calculated?
Kleurenbuurt scores 2.9 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 Kleurenbuurt 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.
