Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Quirijnstok Noord-West is the rare neighbourhood where the violence rate is below the national median while burglary, vandalism and property crime come out slightly above it. The total therefore stays under the Dutch middle and the safety pillar lands on 7.1 — violence carries the most weight in that pillar, and here that works in the neighbourhood's favour.

The 4.5 for wealth & income is less clear-cut than the figure suggests. Property value stays clearly below the national median and the social assistance rate is well above it, but the income distribution barely deviates from the national picture and vacancy is almost absent. What a reader with children should know: the primary school is seven hundred metres away, but the GP only after more than a kilometre and the station at almost five.

Frequently asked questions

Is Quirijnstok Noord-West a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Quirijnstok Noord-West comes out at 20 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 Quirijnstok Noord-West?

In Quirijnstok Noord-West the police recorded 22 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Quirijnstok Noord-West calculated?

Quirijnstok Noord-West scores 6.8 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 Quirijnstok Noord-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.
