Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

More than a third of Feijenoord consists of water, and yet the quiet pillar gets no further than a 3.3. Water counts for only a fifth, and the other components all point the wrong way: the measured greenery around the addresses is a fraction of the Dutch middle, the tree canopy stays far below it, and population density is high.

Against that stands a 9.3 for families, and that is no measurement error. The primary school is nearby, almost four in ten households have children living in them, and the population is young.

The wealth pillar comes out at a 2.8, and there not a single component points the other way: the property value stays far below the national middle, low incomes are a clear majority, vacancy is above the Dutch level and the number of social assistance benefits far above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Feijenoord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Feijenoord comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Feijenoord 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 Feijenoord?

In Feijenoord the police recorded 449 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Feijenoord calculated?

Feijenoord scores 3.8 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 Feijenoord 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.
