Bottom 35% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

More than half the residents of Weesp-Zuid I are over sixty-five and fewer than a tenth are under fifteen. Yet families scores 7.9. That is not a measurement error but a consequence of how the pillar is built: nearly two thirds of it is distance to school and childcare, and the primary school is three hundred metres away.

The same proximity yields a 10.0 for amenities, with the GP two hundred metres off and the station within a kilometre and a half. With just over five hundred residents, this is one of the best-served neighbourhoods in the country.

The safety pillar tells a different story, and it turns on one type. Burglary here is almost nine times the national middle, while property crime stays well below it. In a neighbourhood this size that means a few cases a year; the weight of that offence in the model does the rest. Everything else stays close to the national average.

Frequently asked questions

Is Weesp-Zuid I a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Weesp-Zuid I comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Weesp-Zuid I?

In Weesp-Zuid I the police recorded 16 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Weesp-Zuid I calculated?

Weesp-Zuid I scores 5.1 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 Weesp-Zuid I 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.
