Everything close by, safety lags

The number of registered offences per thousand residents in Trouwlaan is far above the national middle, and property crime makes up more than half of it. But violence here comes out almost four times above the median, so the picture of a place where only things go missing does not hold.

Against that 2.5 for safety stands a 9.2 for amenities. The supermarket, restaurant and primary school are within half a kilometre, the station less than two.

That proximity also lifts the families pillar to 7.3, while the share of households with children here is low. The pillar mainly measures distance, and that distance is short here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Trouwlaan a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Trouwlaan comes out at 73 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Trouwlaan 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 Trouwlaan?

In Trouwlaan the police recorded 224 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (73 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 Trouwlaan calculated?

Trouwlaan scores 2.8 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 Trouwlaan 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.
