Safe, but not spacious
Kruiden Zuid ranks in the national top hundred and fifty, and that is because there is no gap anywhere: safety, amenities, wealth & income and families are all four above 9. For wealth that holds up when you look at the components separately — property values are far above the national middle, high incomes are better represented than average, low incomes thinner, social assistance does not occur and vacancy is low.
Only quiet & nature fails to keep up, at 4.2. With seven thousand residents per square kilometre that is hardly surprising; noise is above the median and greenery in the surrounding area just below it. What mainly lifts the safety pillar here is the violence figure, at around a fifth of the national middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kruiden Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kruiden Zuid comes out at 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Kruiden Zuid is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kruiden Zuid?
In Kruiden Zuid the police recorded 22 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Kruiden Zuid calculated?
Kruiden Zuid scores 9.9 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 Kruiden Zuid 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.
