Good for children, with a safety question

A 9.0 for families beside a 3.5 for safety: Banne-Zuidwest shows how little the two have to do with each other. The families score leans on nearness — the primary school is nine hundred metres away — and on the large share of households with children. The safety pillar measures only reported offences, and there property offences run one and a half times, vandalism nearly twice and violence well above the national median.

The wealth side is sharply drawn. More than half of households are on a low income, social assistance runs almost eight times the national rate and high incomes are uncommon. Even so, wealth & income still lands on a 4.1, and that is down to property values: they sit almost exactly on the national median and weigh heaviest in that pillar. Living here is not cheap.

Frequently asked questions

Is Banne-Zuidwest a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Banne-Zuidwest comes out at 33 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 Banne-Zuidwest?

In Banne-Zuidwest the police recorded 161 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Banne-Zuidwest calculated?

Banne-Zuidwest scores 5.4 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 Banne-Zuidwest 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.
