Frequently asked questions

Why is De Lingert at the top?
De Lingert scores a 9.7 on this list, with safety 10.0 as its strongest side. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Wijchen 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.
