Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
A 9.3 for families and a 3.2 for safety in the same Kleurenbuurt Noord: that is the sharpest contrast on this page. The families figure follows from the primary school three hundred metres away, since school distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar.
The safety figure follows from the nature of the reports. Property offences here are more than three times the national median and account for the majority of all records; vandalism is well above it too, violence slightly, burglary barely. Residential burglary is not the problem here. The 2.8 for wealth & income fits a property value well below the national middle and a social assistance rate far above it. Almost half of the homes are occupied by a single person.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kleurenbuurt Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kleurenbuurt Noord comes out at 57 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kleurenbuurt Noord 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 Kleurenbuurt Noord?
In Kleurenbuurt Noord the police recorded 98 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (57 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 Kleurenbuurt Noord calculated?
Kleurenbuurt Noord scores 4.2 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 Kleurenbuurt Noord 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.
