Everything for children close by, and little room
Not a single home in Daalmeer-Zuidoost stands empty. That is the kind of figure you almost never see, and within the wealth pillar vacancy weighs more than owner-occupied and social housing combined. That the pillar still stops at a 6.1 is down to property value, just below the national median, and to a social assistance rate well above it.
The total number of recorded offences here sits almost exactly on the national median, and yet the safety score is a 7.1. The explanation lies in the distribution: violence and burglary, the two heaviest-weighted types, are both below the national middle. Only vandalism edges above it.
The 8.5 for families leans on short distances and on the residents at once: the primary school is seven hundred metres away and almost four in ten households have children.

Frequently asked questions
Is Daalmeer-Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Daalmeer-Zuidoost comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Daalmeer-Zuidoost?
In Daalmeer-Zuidoost the police recorded 83 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Daalmeer-Zuidoost calculated?
Daalmeer-Zuidoost scores 8.5 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 Daalmeer-Zuidoost 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.
