Everything for children close by, and little room
Around De Kleis the share of greenery is above the national median, and yet the quiet pillar stalls at a 3.0. The explanation lies in the other components: the noise level is noticeably above the national median, tree canopy is scarce and open water is absent altogether.
On crime, the violence figure stands out at not even a quarter of the national median, while property crime is above it. Because violence is the heaviest component of the safety pillar, the neighbourhood comes out at a 7.2 despite a total number of reported offences that is virtually on the median.
The 8.5 for wealth & income has every component in its favour: property value above the median, social assistance below it, little vacancy and a high income group thicker than nationally.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Kleis a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Kleis comes out at 24 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Kleis?
In De Kleis the police recorded 72 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 De Kleis calculated?
De Kleis scores 8.4 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 De Kleis 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.
