Everything close by, little space
Zandvoort in Baarn has everything within a kilometre, station included, and that produces a 9.9 for amenities. The figure that jars is the 5.7 for safety, and it is harder to read than it looks.
The total number of reported offences here is above the national median, but of the four broken-out categories only vandalism sits above it; violence and theft stay below and burglary lands exactly on the middle. Those four categories together account for less than half the total, so what drags the score down lies largely outside the breakdown the reader sees.
The wealth & income pillar stands at 7.7 and is carried by the property value, which is well above the Dutch middle. The income spread only partly follows: the lowest group here is almost exactly national.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zandvoort a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zandvoort comes out at 30 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 Zandvoort?
In Zandvoort the police recorded 96 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 Zandvoort calculated?
Zandvoort scores 9.1 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 Zandvoort 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.
