Frequently asked questions
How is this list ranked?
On property value — by far the heaviest measure — plus the share of households on a high income and on a low income, benefits, vacancy and the balance between owner-occupied homes and social housing. It describes the neighbourhood and what was measured there, not the people who live in it.
Why is Gaarden at the top?
Gaarden scores a 9.1 on this list, with an average property value of € 496,000. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Nieuwegein that has a grade for this measure.
How often are these figures updated?
The figures 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.
