Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Two pillars have no score in Overig Almere Buiten Zuid: amenities and wealth & income are missing, so the overall score of 2.5 rests on three. What is there is striking enough. In this near-empty rural area — fewer than thirty residents per square kilometre — almost everyone lives alone and there are no households with children. That explains the lowest possible families score.
The crime rate is more than four times the national median, and the picture is carried almost entirely by property offences. With just over a hundred residents this comes down to a handful of reports: one more or fewer visibly shifts the figure. The 8.5 for quiet & nature comes from the space — plenty of greenery around, a thick tree canopy and water.

Frequently asked questions
Is Overig Almere Buiten Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Overig Almere Buiten Zuid comes out at 112 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Overig Almere Buiten Zuid is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Overig Almere Buiten Zuid?
In Overig Almere Buiten Zuid the police recorded 58 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (112 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 Overig Almere Buiten Zuid calculated?
Overig Almere Buiten Zuid scores 2.5 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 Overig Almere Buiten 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.
