Good for children, with a safety question

What pulls Staatsliedenkwartier down is one offence. Theft is recorded here more than four times as often as nationally; violence and burglary lie slightly above, but those differences pale beside it. Hence a 3.3 for safety in a neighbourhood that otherwise reaches a 7.9 as its overall score.

On families two components point the same way: the primary school is close by *and* relatively many households with children live here. That those two coincide is less self-evident than it seems, because a high families score more often comes from the distances alone. Here the 9.3 is doubly earned.

The wealth pillar leans on a property value above the national middle; the share on social assistance stays only modestly above it and vacancy below. That brings the pillar to a 6.9.

Frequently asked questions

Is Staatsliedenkwartier a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Staatsliedenkwartier comes out at 55 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Staatsliedenkwartier 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 Staatsliedenkwartier?

In Staatsliedenkwartier the police recorded 369 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (55 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 Staatsliedenkwartier calculated?

Staatsliedenkwartier scores 7.9 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 Staatsliedenkwartier 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.
