Frequently asked questions
Is Taag- en Rubicondreef en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Taag- en Rubicondreef en omgeving comes out at 59 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Taag- en Rubicondreef 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 Taag- en Rubicondreef en omgeving?
In Taag- en Rubicondreef en omgeving the police recorded 373 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (59 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 Taag- en Rubicondreef en omgeving calculated?
Taag- en Rubicondreef en omgeving scores 3.8 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 Taag- en Rubicondreef 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.
