Methods

Every figure comes from Dutch government open data and OpenStreetMap. Scores compare a neighbourhood with the rest of its city.

What the scores mean

Letter grade (A+ to F) — how a neighbourhood compares with the rest of its city on safety, schools, commute, and shops and services, weighed equally. The owner-occupied share is shown but not graded: it describes tenure, not quality.
Livability, 10–90 — based on the government Leefbaarometer score, put on our own 10–90 scale. Higher is better.
Match, 0–100 — in "Find your best buurt": how well a neighbourhood fits your preferences. Price is a filter, not part of the match.
Safe on the street — in "Find your best buurt": police-registered violence, robbery and theft on the street per 1,000 residents, compared with the rest of the city. Burglaries are not counted.
Quiet & green — in "Find your best buurt": road-traffic noise, aircraft noise, parks and greenery per resident, and air quality, compared with the rest of the city. Aircraft noise counts only where it exceeds the WHO guideline level, around Schiphol and the regional airports.
Prices — average WOZ value, the yearly tax valuation of homes. Asking prices are usually higher. WOZ value per m² = average WOZ divided by the average floor area of homes, from the land registry (BAG).
Small neighbourhoods — fewer than 400 residents get no grade or ranking.
Estimates — figures can be out of date or wrong for a specific home. Not advice.
