Frequently asked questions
How is this list ranked?

Why is Venne-West at the top?
Venne-West scores a 9.3 on this list, with quiet & nature 9.6 as its strongest side. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Heusden that has a grade for this measure.
How often are these figures updated?
The crime figures are from the police for 2025; population, boundaries and the other characteristics come from the CBS neighbourhood statistics for 2025. Both are published once a year; the list is recalculated as soon as a new edition appears.
