Everything for children close by, and little room
A 9.9 for families places Danswijk Noordoost among the two hundred highest in the country on that pillar. The primary school is four hundred metres away and almost half of households have children; together those two components carry most of the weight.
The amenities pillar lags behind, and that is not down to the daily shopping. The supermarket is around the corner, but the GP and a restaurant are both more than a kilometre and a half away — and the GP counts heavily there.
The wealth & income pillar is not weak across the board. The share of households in the lowest income group is below the national figure, in the highest just below it, and vacancy is minimal. What depresses the score is property value, which stays under the median, combined with a social assistance rate three times the national one.

Frequently asked questions
Is Danswijk Noordoost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Danswijk Noordoost comes out at 21 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 Danswijk Noordoost?
In Danswijk Noordoost the police recorded 55 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Danswijk Noordoost calculated?
Danswijk Noordoost scores 8.6 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 Danswijk Noordoost 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.
