Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Dinxperlo Centrum/Oost scores 8.9 for families in a neighbourhood where almost three in ten residents are over 65 and the share of children is below the national level. That is no contradiction: nearly two thirds of the pillar is the distance to school and childcare, and the primary school here is four hundred metres away.
Wealth and income comes out at 3.2 and that score points almost everywhere in the same direction. Property value is two thirds of the Dutch middle value, the top income group is half as broad as nationally, almost half of households fall into the bottom one, and the social assistance rate is four times the national middle. Only vacancy stays below it — so this is a place with no emptying out, but with tight budgets.
What it costs you is the train. The nearest station is ten kilometres away, while supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within six hundred metres.

For 2025, Dinxperlo Centrum/Oost comes out at 19 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Dinxperlo Centrum/Oost?
In Dinxperlo Centrum/Oost the police recorded 63 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Dinxperlo Centrum/Oost calculated?
Dinxperlo Centrum/Oost scores 6.8 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Dinxperlo Centrum/Oost lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
