Frequently asked questions
How is this list ranked?

Why is Verspreide huizen at the top?
Verspreide huizen scores a 9.5 on this list, with an average property value of € 528,000. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Veendam 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.
