Spacious, but safety lags
More than forty per cent of the area around Den Dolder-Noord lies under tree canopy, almost five times as much as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Together with plenty of greenery and few residents per square kilometre, that produces a 9.4 for quiet & nature, by far this neighbourhood's highest score.
Against it stands a 4.9 for safety, and that is almost entirely violence: the type is more than twice the national median here, while theft stays below it. The total number of offences is not high, but the heaviest category is.
The wealth & income pillar comes to 6.4 despite property values far above the median. The social assistance rate is twice the national one and vacancy more than double; those are the two components dragging the score down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Den Dolder-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Den Dolder-Noord comes out at 21 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 Den Dolder-Noord?
In Den Dolder-Noord the police recorded 68 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Den Dolder-Noord calculated?
Den Dolder-Noord scores 7.2 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 Den Dolder-Noord 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.
