Everything for children close by, and little room
Almost a third of the residents of De Bron-Zuid are under fifteen and hardly anyone is 65 or older. Age profiles like that occur almost only in neighbourhoods built in one go, and here there is no home from before 2000.
The GP is more than two kilometres away, and that is the second heaviest item in the amenities pillar. Hence a 6.4 even though the supermarket and the primary school are close by.
Wealth & income is the strongest component after the families score, at a 9.1. Property value well above the median, a thick top income group, a thin bottom one and virtually no vacancy: all components point the same way.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Bron-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Bron-Zuid comes out at 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Bron-Zuid is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Bron-Zuid?
In De Bron-Zuid the police recorded 32 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 De Bron-Zuid calculated?
De Bron-Zuid scores 9.5 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 De Bron-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.
