Bottom 26% in the Netherlands

Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

From a 9.9 for families to a 2.8 for wealth & income: Wibautbuurt spans the entire Dutch scale inside a single neighbourhood. That high families score comes mainly from distance — the primary school is three hundred metres away — and not from an exceptional share of children, which is around the national level.

The low wealth score does point the same way in every direction: a property value far below the Dutch median, a top income group only two thirds as broad as the national one, a bottom group covering half of all households, and a social assistance rate more than eight times the middle. The crime picture admits no exception either: violence, burglary, property crime and criminal damage are all four above the Dutch median, criminal damage almost three times. So no single type explains the 3.1 for safety on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wibautbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Wibautbuurt comes out at 40 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Wibautbuurt 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 Wibautbuurt?

In Wibautbuurt the police recorded 146 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (40 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 Wibautbuurt calculated?

Wibautbuurt scores 4.4 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 Wibautbuurt 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.
