Everything for children close by, and little room
A 9.8 for families next to a 3.4 for wealth & income: Reimerswaal offers the sharpest contrast the five pillars can produce. That families figure hangs almost entirely on the primary school two hundred metres away. The wealth & income pillar points the other way on every one of its components: a thin top income group, a much thicker bottom one, a property value below the national median and a rate of social assistance almost nine times the national level. Only vacancy sits exactly on the median.
The 3.2 for quiet & nature is a density story: more than fourteen thousand residents per square kilometre, greenery below the national median and no water nearby.
Among the offences, what stands out is that alongside property crime, violence is also far above the national median. Violence weighs more heavily in the safety pillar than the other types, and it is why the low safety score here cannot be explained by disappearing possessions alone.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reimerswaal a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Reimerswaal comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Reimerswaal 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 Reimerswaal?
In Reimerswaal the police recorded 143 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Reimerswaal calculated?
Reimerswaal scores 4.0 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 Reimerswaal 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.
