Everything close by, little space

Not even a sixth of the area around Sint Pieterspark is green, against more than half nationally, and with eleven thousand residents per square kilometre that produces a 2.7 for quiet & nature. This is city in the most literal sense.

The offence figures follow that pattern, with one exception: violence, vandalism and property crime all run well above the national middle, but burglary far below it. The wealth & income pillar meanwhile stays closer to the national picture than the other figures suggest — the income distribution barely differs and only property values and the rate of social assistance pull the score down. So this is not a neighbourhood that looks poorer across the board, but a densely built piece of city where everything is within walking distance and greenery comes last.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sint Pieterspark a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Sint Pieterspark comes out at 40 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Sint Pieterspark 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 Sint Pieterspark?

In Sint Pieterspark the police recorded 127 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (40 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 Sint Pieterspark calculated?

Sint Pieterspark scores 5.2 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 Sint Pieterspark 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.
