Everything for children close by, and little room
Four in five homes in Dorp oost were built after 2000, and the population matches: close to half the households have children and the share of over-65s is far below the national middle. The 8.9 for families therefore rests on more than distance alone.
The 7.6 for safety needs explaining, because the total number of reported offences is favourable. Burglary barely occurs and theft stays well below the national middle, but vandalism runs more than twice above it and violence just above. Those are the two categories weighing the pillar down, even though the average looks fine.
The 8.1 for wealth & income rests on property values well above the national median, little social assistance and almost no vacancy; the share of households on a high income is large and the share on a low income roughly normal. Against that stands the 3.0 for quiet & nature, the price of building densely without adding greenery.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dorp oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Dorp oost comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Dorp oost?
In Dorp oost the police recorded 43 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Dorp oost calculated?
Dorp oost scores 8.0 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 Dorp oost 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.
