Safe, but not spacious
The 7.8 for wealth & income in De Kievit Zuid-West does not come from property value, and that is unusual: it sits slightly below the Dutch median. What carries the pillar are the other components — no recorded social assistance, virtually no vacancy, and more households in the top income group and fewer in the bottom one than is usual nationally.
The 8.6 for safety rests mainly on violence, which here is a quarter of the national middle; burglary, by contrast, comes out just above it. For a reader choosing between this neighbourhood and another, that is the relevant distinction: the risk on the street is small, the one at the door ordinary. The quiet & nature pillar lands on 6.4 through an above-average share of water and noise around the national median, while greenery within three hundred metres stays slightly under it.

For 2025, De Kievit Zuid-West comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Kievit Zuid-West?
In De Kievit Zuid-West the police recorded 21 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Kievit Zuid-West calculated?
De Kievit Zuid-West scores 9.4 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 De Kievit Zuid-West 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.
