neighbourhood in Amersfoort
Heideweg e.o.
320 residents · postal code 3829 · Part of Hooglanderveen, Amersfoort
Well-off, but not spacious
Property crime in Heideweg e.o. runs at almost twice the national middle, while violence, burglary and vandalism sit close to or below it. With just over three hundred residents this involves few cases, but the skew between categories is clear: things go missing here, and that is what mainly explains the 5.9 for safety.
The 9.9 for wealth & income comes from the other direction. Property value is close to double the national median, high incomes occur far more often than average, low ones less often, social assistance is absent and vacancy is low. Every component points the same way.
Against a railway station less than a kilometre away stands a GP more than two kilometres off. That combination — excellently connected, everyday care further out — is what keeps the amenities pillar at 7.8 rather than higher.

Frequently asked questions
Is Heideweg e.o. a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Heideweg e.o. comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Heideweg e.o.?
In Heideweg e.o. the police recorded 14 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Heideweg e.o. calculated?
Heideweg e.o. scores 9.0 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 Heideweg e.o. 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.
