Stadsdriehoek
18,365 residents · postal code 3011 · Part of Rotterdam Centrum, Rotterdam
Everything close by, safety lags
De Stadsdriehoek registers well over three and a half times as many offences per resident as the national median, and that is not one type. Theft occurs almost five times as often, violence is likewise far above the Dutch level; only burglary sits exactly on it. The 2.8 for safety is thus deserved.
What keeps the wealth pillar at a 5.8 is a combination you rarely see. More than one in three households has a high income, far more than nationally, and the property value is just above the Dutch median — but at the same time almost one in fourteen addresses stands vacant and social assistance remains well above the national figure. Both extremes live side by side here.
Children are rare. The families pillar gets no further than a 5.1, despite a primary school within walking distance: that lies in the share of young residents, not in the distance.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stadsdriehoek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Stadsdriehoek comes out at 85 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Stadsdriehoek 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 Stadsdriehoek?
In Stadsdriehoek the police recorded 3,105 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (85 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 Stadsdriehoek calculated?
Stadsdriehoek scores 4.3 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 Stadsdriehoek 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.
