Everything close by, safety lags
Of the four recorded types of offence, not one in Te Werve sits below the national median. Violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all occur more often here than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and that explains the 3.0 for safety without any one category standing out. It is not a neighbourhood with one problem but with a raised level across the board.
Set against that is an 8.3 for quiet & nature, surprising for a neighbourhood of this building density. The tree canopy covers almost three times as much of the surroundings as nationally, a good eighth of the area is water and the green share sits above the Dutch median. That is a green neighbourhood in the statistical sense, not an assumption.
The wealth & income pillar stays at a 3.3 because of property values, far below the Dutch median, and because of a social assistance level several times above it. Vacancy does not differ from the national figure and so points neither way.

Frequently asked questions
Is Te Werve a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Te Werve comes out at 36 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 Te Werve?
In Te Werve the police recorded 182 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Te Werve calculated?
Te Werve scores 5.9 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 Te Werve 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.
