Everything close by, little to spend
The Statenbuurt is missing exactly the figure that counts for most within the wealth & income pillar: the property value. What is on record all points one way. The social assistance rate sits at more than four times the national middle and vacancy well above the median — two items that already carry most of the 3.2 for wealth & income. The income distribution is less pronounced: the top group is thinner than nationally, the bottom one barely wider.
The 4.0 for safety does not come from what goes missing. Property crime here is just below the national median; violence and vandalism are the ones that rise above it, and violence counts for more within that pillar than any other type of offence. That is the reverse of a shopping-area profile.
The population is old. Almost four in ten residents are 65 or over and slightly more than half of the households consist of one person. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, which is part of why families comes out at 5.7.

Frequently asked questions
Is Statenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Statenbuurt comes out at 31 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Statenbuurt?
In Statenbuurt the police recorded 89 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Statenbuurt calculated?
Statenbuurt scores 3.2 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 Statenbuurt 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.
