Everything close by, little to spend

Nieuw Noord - wonen has the amenities of a centre and the figures of a neighbourhood under pressure. Supermarket and GP are three hundred metres away, good for an 8.7, while the wealth & income pillar comes out at a 3.4: more than half of households in the lowest income group, one in ten in the top one, and a social assistance rate of nearly eight times the national median.

The 3.7 for safety is mainly about violence, recorded here more than twice as often as nationally; property crime is barely above the median. That is the reverse of what you might expect in a seaside town. Also striking is the quiet & nature pillar of 3.7 with greenery in the surroundings above the Dutch middle — here it is the density of over ten thousand residents per square kilometre that cancels out the rest. The families score of 7.5 rests on a primary school sitting exactly one kilometre away — the edge of what counts as close.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nieuw Noord - wonen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Nieuw Noord - wonen comes out at 30 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 Nieuw Noord - wonen?

In Nieuw Noord - wonen the police recorded 108 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Nieuw Noord - wonen calculated?

Nieuw Noord - wonen scores 3.9 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 Nieuw Noord - wonen 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.
