Everything close by, little to spend

The total number of reported offences in Aawijk noord is below the national median, and yet the safety pillar gets no further than a 5.5. That is down to the composition: violence is at more than twice the national median, while burglary and vandalism stay below it. Violence carries the most weight within that pillar, so the breakdown says more here than the total does.

The 3.7 for wealth & income is less ambiguous. Half of households belong to the lowest income group, the highest group is much thinner than nationally, and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the median; only vacancy is favourable. Set against that is a neighbourhood where practically everything is within half a kilometre — supermarket, doctor, restaurant and primary school — and that explains the 8.8 for amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aawijk noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Aawijk noord comes out at 23 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 Aawijk noord?

In Aawijk noord the police recorded 58 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Aawijk noord calculated?

Aawijk noord scores 5.6 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 Aawijk noord 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.
