Good for children, with a safety question

Two figures in Kroeven-Zuidwest point the same way and one cuts straight across them. Wealth & income stands at 3.0, and that holds on every component: property values are far below the national middle, high incomes are rare, more than half of households are on a low income and the social assistance rate runs to over five times the median. Only vacancy is low.

Safety follows at 2.9, driven mainly by vandalism and violence — both at more than double the national middle, while the crime total comes out only a fraction above the median. The 9.5 for families stands apart from all that: the primary school is three hundred metres away, and school distance is the heaviest component of that pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kroeven-Zuidwest a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kroeven-Zuidwest comes out at 31 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 Kroeven-Zuidwest?

In Kroeven-Zuidwest the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Kroeven-Zuidwest calculated?

Kroeven-Zuidwest scores 3.9 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 Kroeven-Zuidwest 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.
