Good for children, with a safety question

Klingerberg-Zuid has the highest families score and the lowest safety score of its own five pillars, and the gap between them is wide. The 9.7 for families comes from short distances — the primary school is around the corner — and from a substantial share of households with children.

The 2.7 for safety has no soft side: every recorded offence type sits above the national median, vandalism more than four times over. That last point stands out, because vandalism is the lightest component in the model; the score is pushed down mainly by violence and theft. The 2.9 for wealth & income runs the same way: the top income group here is a fraction of the national share and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the median. Only vacancy is low.

Frequently asked questions

Is Klingerberg-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Klingerberg-Zuid comes out at 45 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Klingerberg-Zuid 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 Klingerberg-Zuid?

In Klingerberg-Zuid the police recorded 149 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (45 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 Klingerberg-Zuid calculated?

Klingerberg-Zuid scores 3.7 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 Klingerberg-Zuid 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.
