How to read the grades

Each theme scores from 0 to 100, with a letter from A to E. Higher is always better for the buyer — so on Costs, a low score means expensive. The overall figure is the average of the theme scores, not a ranking.

The series starts in 2023: CBS changed to the country-of-origin classification then. Earlier figures use a different classification and cannot be compared with these.

Figures from CBS Kerncijfers Wijken en Buurten for the buurt Vogelenbuurt (3,950 residents). Percentages are calculated over the sum of the categories shown, not over the total population: CBS rounds every count to a multiple of five, so the two need not be equal. Not every block comes from the same edition; each block states which edition it comes from. A published 0 means 0, 1 or 2 residents, not 'none'. Every figure describes the neighbourhood as a whole, not a street, a household or a person. Editions read: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.

Attention

Crimes are counted where they happen, not where those involved live: a buurt with shops, nightlife or a station also counts offences against people who do not live there. CBS does not publish four crime types at buurt level (sexual offences among them); these are included in the total and in the 'other and withheld' category, but cannot be shown separately.

The buurt (neighbourhood) of Vogelenbuurt — not the street or the address — from CBS/Politie 47018NED. The trend shows registered crimes per 1,000 residents per year over the last 7 published years. Every year is divided by the same population (3,990), because no matching population figure is available for earlier years: the line therefore shows how recorded crime moved, not how crime per resident moved. The breakdown by type covers 2025, divided by 3,990 residents, times 1,000. The 'other and withheld' category is the published total minus the summed categories, so the bars add up to the total exactly. The comparison figure is the gemeente (municipality) of Utrecht as a whole in the same year, from the same table and the same grouping of crime types, divided by 376,757 residents.
