School close by, shops further off

Eleven kilometres to the station is the sharpest edge of Poortugaal Zuid. Supermarket and GP are around a kilometre away, the restaurant a little further — none of those distances is short, and together they keep the amenities pillar at 5.1. This is a neighbourhood where you need the car for more than just the train.

The primary school is the exception, at seven hundred metres, and that is precisely the component weighing heaviest in the families pillar. Together with more than four in ten households with children that produces an 8.1, while the share of young residents sits around the national picture.

Quiet & nature comes out at 5.5 with a noise level more than three decibels Lden below the national middle and almost sixty percent green within three hundred metres. The absence of water and a density above seven thousand keep the score from going higher.

Frequently asked questions

Is Poortugaal Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Poortugaal Zuid comes out at 18 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 Poortugaal Zuid?

In Poortugaal Zuid the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Poortugaal Zuid calculated?

Poortugaal Zuid scores 6.9 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 Poortugaal Zuid 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.
