Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The number of reported offences in Winkewijert is above the national middle, and yet the safety score is 7.2. That is because the heaviest-weighted type comes out lowest here: violence is at a quarter of the median. What does stand out is vandalism, at double it — a figure about damage rather than threat.

The 9.1 for families rests on the primary school four hundred metres away. That the share of children here is at national level changes little; that pillar mainly measures access.

The tree canopy is more than twice as dense as the national one, and that is the main reason the quiet & nature pillar still reaches a 6.8 despite noise exposure above the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Winkewijert a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Winkewijert comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.2. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 30 records per 1,000, 0.6 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Winkewijert?

In Winkewijert the police recorded 65 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 Winkewijert calculated?

Winkewijert scores 8.6 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 Winkewijert 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.
