Evenaar-Oost

Well-off, but not spacious
The wealth in Evenaar-Oost holds up on every component. Property value lies above the national median, high incomes are more amply represented than nationally and low incomes thinner, social assistance does not occur in this area and vacancy is minimal. No component points the other way — with wealth & income that is the exception rather than the rule.
Quiet & nature pays the bill with a 2.6. The greenery within three hundred metres stays far below the national middle, the tree canopy likewise, the noise level rises above it and there is no surface water. At almost nine thousand residents per square kilometre that fits: this is compactly built ground where outdoor space is tight.
The families score of 6.4 is the sober side of the population make-up. More than a quarter of residents are over 65 and the share of children lies below the national middle, while the primary school is just under a kilometre away. The station, by contrast, is five hundred metres off.

Frequently asked questions
Is Evenaar-Oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Evenaar-Oost comes out at 17 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 Evenaar-Oost?
In Evenaar-Oost the police recorded 36 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Evenaar-Oost calculated?
Evenaar-Oost scores 8.0 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 Evenaar-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.
