Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The safety score of 4.3 in Kruidenbuurt Oost comes from one type of report. Violent offences here are more than three times the national median, while property offences stay below it and so does burglary. Violence also carries the most weight in this pillar, which is exactly why the total offence rate is only slightly above the national middle and the score still comes out low.

The second tension is between income and family life. The wealth pillar stays at 2.9 through a property value far below the median, a social assistance rate tens of times above it, and more than half of households in the lowest income group. At the same time the neighbourhood scores 8.9 for families: school and supermarket are five to six hundred metres away and more than four in ten households have children.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kruidenbuurt Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kruidenbuurt Oost comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Kruidenbuurt Oost?

In Kruidenbuurt Oost the police recorded 68 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Kruidenbuurt Oost calculated?

Kruidenbuurt Oost scores 5.0 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 Kruidenbuurt Oost 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.
