Well-off, but not spacious

What gets reported as crime in Strijp is almost all property offences. Violence and vandalism sit below the national median, burglary slightly above it, and it is the stolen goods that lift the total past the median. That is the profile of a neighbourhood where things go missing, not one where you watch your back after dark — and it explains why safety still lands on a 6.8 while the total crime rate does not.

The wealth side is favourable almost across the board: property values above the national median, high incomes more common than nationally, low incomes less so, and hardly any vacancy. Only social assistance sits a fraction above the national median. What the neighbourhood gives up is nearness: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all about a kilometre away, far enough to keep the amenities score at a 6.0.

Frequently asked questions

Is Strijp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Strijp comes out at 26 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Strijp?

In Strijp the police recorded 123 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Strijp calculated?

Strijp scores 7.7 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 Strijp 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.
