Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

In Rozenburg half as much is stolen as the national median indicates, and that is strikingly little. Yet the safety pillar gets no higher than a 6.2, because violence and vandalism are above the Dutch middle — and violence counts heaviest in it.

Distance is the theme of this neighbourhood. The railway station is a good fifteen kilometres away and the GP a good deal further than the shop; that keeps the amenities pillar at a 6.9. That same space is visible in the quiet, a 6.0: plenty of water in the surroundings and a population density that is low for an urban neighbourhood.

On the income side little stands out: the earners at the top end are exactly as numerous as nationally and the bottom end barely differs from it. That the wealth pillar nonetheless comes to a 3.7 comes from the property value and from social assistance, which is well over three times above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rozenburg a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rozenburg comes out at 24 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 Rozenburg?

In Rozenburg the police recorded 377 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Rozenburg calculated?

Rozenburg scores 5.4 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 Rozenburg 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.
