Everything for children close by, and little room
The crime figure for De Knip is below the national median, and yet the safety pillar gets no further than 6.7. One type explains it: violence here is close to double the national middle, and violence is the heaviest of the four types. Burglary, by contrast, is almost absent.
The 9.7 for families needs the same qualification. The share of households with children and the share of residents under fifteen are both around the national level; what lifts the score is distance, with a primary school three hundred metres away. So De Knip is easy to reach things from for families without unusually many children living there — a distinction the table below does not draw.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Knip a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Knip comes out at 22 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 De Knip?
In De Knip the police recorded 51 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 De Knip calculated?
De Knip scores 8.5 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 De Knip 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.
