Top 13% in the Netherlands

Safe streets, thinner wallets

Almost a fifth of the surface area of Duinterpen is water and the noise level sits more than three decibels below the national median. At a density that is low for an urban neighbourhood, that produces a 7.8 for quiet & nature, despite a tree canopy at less than half the national level.

The amenities pillar is the weak point at a 6.3, and it is not the supermarket five hundred metres away. The GP is more than two kilometres off and the restaurant two — for a neighbourhood that scores above the middle everywhere else, that is the clearest limitation.

The wealth & income pillar is mixed: the share of low incomes sits exactly on the national median and vacancy is near zero, but property values stay below the median and the social assistance rate is more than double. Hence a 5.5.

Frequently asked questions

Is Duinterpen a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Duinterpen?

In Duinterpen the police recorded 76 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Duinterpen calculated?

Duinterpen scores 9.1 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 Duinterpen 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.
