Well-off, but not spacious

For Weidebuurt-Noord the vacancy figure is missing, so the wealth & income pillar is built from the remaining components. Those do point the same way: the share of households on a low income is far below the national median, high incomes are more strongly represented than usual and social assistance does not occur. Only the property value stays below the national median, and that is the heaviest component. The result is a 7.3.

The weakest spot is quiet & nature, at 4.9. The noise level is well above the national median and that outweighs the greenery and tree canopy around it, both of which sit near the average.

On offences the picture is mixed. Theft and vandalism are less common than nationally, but violence is above the median. The restaurant is a hundred metres away; shop, GP and school are one and a half kilometres off.

Frequently asked questions

Is Weidebuurt-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Weidebuurt-Noord comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Weidebuurt-Noord?

In Weidebuurt-Noord the police recorded 59 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Weidebuurt-Noord calculated?

Weidebuurt-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 Weidebuurt-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.
