Everything close by, little space

An 8.9 for families in a neighbourhood where only fourteen per cent of residents are under fifteen: the two look mismatched. They are not, because that pillar mainly measures how far away school and childcare are, and in the Marconibuurt the primary school is three hundred metres off. The score rewards the location, not the make-up of the population.

At the other end of the scale sits the 2.5 for quiet & nature, one of the lowest in the country. Not a single component comes to the rescue: the built-up area is dense, the noise level is well above the national median, greenery and tree canopy stay clearly below it, and there is no open water.

On safety, all four types of reported offence are above the national median, with violence the largest outlier. So this is not the profile of a place where only bicycles go missing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Marconibuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Marconibuurt comes out at 34 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 Marconibuurt?

In Marconibuurt the police recorded 101 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Marconibuurt calculated?

Marconibuurt 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 Marconibuurt 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.
