Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The social assistance rate in the Componistenbuurt is more than thirteen times the national median — the highest figure on this page by a wide margin. Together with a property value at around half the national median and a very small share of high incomes, that produces a 2.6 for wealth & income.
The 2.7 for safety sits right beside it and is just as unambiguous: violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four above the national median. These two pillars are jointly the neighbourhood's weakest, and they account for the overall score of 3.6 almost entirely.
Against that stands a 9.7 for families. GP, school and restaurant are all within half a kilometre and many households with children live here. For those growing up here everything is within walking distance — in exactly the neighbourhood where the other figures cooperate least.

Frequently asked questions
Is Componistenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Componistenbuurt comes out at 51 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Componistenbuurt 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 Componistenbuurt?
In Componistenbuurt the police recorded 133 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (51 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 Componistenbuurt calculated?
Componistenbuurt scores 3.6 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 Componistenbuurt 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.
