Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Muziekbuurt has a 9.5 for families and a 3.1 for safety, and that covers the same streets and the same children. The family score comes from the primary school four hundred metres away and from the large share of households with children; the safety score from four types of offence that are each above the national median, violence and theft most clearly.

The wealth & income pillar drops to 3.1. Property value is far below the national median and the social assistance rate is a multiple of it; only vacancy stays below average.

The noise level is among the highest you find in a residential neighbourhood and pushes the quiet & nature pillar down to 4.9, despite a tree canopy that is in fact thicker than average. What this neighbourhood offers is proximity: school, supermarket, GP and station are all close by.

Frequently asked questions

Is Muziekbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Muziekbuurt comes out at 44 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Muziekbuurt is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Muziekbuurt?

In Muziekbuurt the police recorded 262 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (44 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 Muziekbuurt calculated?

Muziekbuurt scores 4.5 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 Muziekbuurt 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.
