Good for children, with a safety question

Violence and vandalism in the Toneelspelersbuurt are well above the national median, while property crime stays below it. That is the reverse of most urban neighbourhoods, and because violence is the heaviest component of the safety pillar, the score is 3.9 where total offences come out only just above the national median.

Three in ten residents are 65 or older. Even so, families stands at 7.7 — that pillar mostly measures whether school and childcare are nearby, and here they are. The share of children itself is below the national median.

The 7.0 for quiet & nature is remarkable in a neighbourhood with more than seven thousand residents to the square kilometre. The sound level is below the national median and both greenery and trees come out above it. What is missing is the GP: a good one and a half kilometres away, further than the restaurant and the school.

Frequently asked questions

Is Toneelspelersbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Toneelspelersbuurt comes out at 26 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 Toneelspelersbuurt?

In Toneelspelersbuurt the police recorded 65 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Toneelspelersbuurt calculated?

Toneelspelersbuurt 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 Toneelspelersbuurt 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.
