Good for children, with a safety question
A 9.8 for families next to a 3.3 for wealth & income: extremes like that within one neighbourhood are rare. In Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt the primary school is two hundred metres away and more than a third of households have children, while only seven in a hundred homes are owner-occupied and the share of residents on social assistance is almost eight times above the national middle.
The highest income group here is a fraction of what is usual nationally and the lowest makes up almost half of all households. That is not a mixed picture but a clear one, and the score is right.
The safety pillar stays at a 2.7 because of violence twice above the median, with property crime and vandalism on top. Only on quiet & nature does the area come near average, with a green share just below the Dutch middle and a broad tree canopy.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt 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 Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt?
In Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt the police recorded 88 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt calculated?
Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt scores 5.2 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 Wegener Sleeswijkbuurt 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.
