Everything close by, safety lags
The tree canopy around L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving is more than twice as dense as is common nationally and the green share is above the median too. Yet the quiet & nature pillar stays at 5.2, because traffic noise comes out eight decibels above the national middle and a great many people live in little space. Trees do not muffle traffic.
The wealth & income pillar, a 4.8, hangs on a single component. The social assistance rate here runs at more than six times the national median; the share of high incomes is in fact normal and vacancy is low. Property value stays slightly below the middle.
This is a neighbourhood of people living alone: almost two thirds of households consist of one person and fewer than a fifth have children. That is why the families pillar stays at 7.2 despite a primary school seven hundred metres away — distance is not the problem here.

Frequently asked questions
Is L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving 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 L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving?
In L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving the police recorded 74 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving calculated?
L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving scores 4.8 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 L. Napoleonplantsoen en omgeving 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.
