Everything close by, safety lags
The tree canopy around the Rembrandtkwartier covers more than two and a half times the national median, and greenery in the surroundings is above the median too. Even so, quiet & nature gets no further than 5.1: a lot of people live on little ground and the noise level is above the national figure. Trees alone do not lift that pillar.
The 3.9 for wealth & income is only partly a story about income. The share of high incomes sits exactly on the national median and the share of low incomes below it; what drags the score down is the property value, far under the national median, plus social assistance and vacancy above the national figures.
Amenities reach 9.5 with everything within half a kilometre. Safety lags at 3.6, mainly because of property crime running more than twice above the median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rembrandtkwartier a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Rembrandtkwartier comes out at 41 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rembrandtkwartier 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 Rembrandtkwartier?
In Rembrandtkwartier the police recorded 224 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (41 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 Rembrandtkwartier calculated?
Rembrandtkwartier scores 5.3 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 Rembrandtkwartier 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.
