Everything close by, safety lags

Nine times the national rate of social assistance, property values far below the median and a top income group that barely exists here: the 2.9 for wealth & income in the Uitvindersbuurt comes not from one component but from all four at once.

The 9.2 for amenities shows this is at the same time a well-connected neighbourhood — supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within walking distance. Together those two figures sketch a densely built city neighbourhood with everything close at hand and little to spend. The safety pillar follows the same pattern: every offence type sits above the national middle, violence at well over double. And greenery is scarce, not even a fifth of the immediate surroundings against more than half nationally, which leaves little quiet.

Frequently asked questions

Is Uitvindersbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Uitvindersbuurt comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Uitvindersbuurt 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 Uitvindersbuurt?

In Uitvindersbuurt the police recorded 110 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Uitvindersbuurt calculated?

Uitvindersbuurt scores 3.0 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 Uitvindersbuurt 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.
