The safety score of 2.8 cannot be written off as shoplifting at a busy hub. Property offences here are twice the national level, but so is violence, and burglary is above the median as well.

Frequently asked questions
Is Abdij- en Torenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Abdij- en Torenbuurt comes out at 43 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Abdij- en Torenbuurt 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 Abdij- en Torenbuurt?
In Abdij- en Torenbuurt the police recorded 96 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (43 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 Abdij- en Torenbuurt calculated?
Abdij- en Torenbuurt scores 3.0 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 Abdij- en Torenbuurt 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.
