Everything close by, little to spend
Nuth combines a 9.0 for amenities with a 3.3 for wealth & income, a combination you mainly find in older village centres in the Netherlands. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are within six hundred metres and the station less than a kilometre away, while property values stay far below the national median and the social assistance rate is almost three times the median.
The families pillar reaches a 5.3 despite a primary school around the corner, and that is telling here. When the distance is short and the score still stalls, it lies in the other part of the pillar: eleven per cent of residents are under fifteen.
The 7.7 for safety rests on burglary and property offences both sitting below the national median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nuth a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Nuth comes out at 22 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 Nuth?
In Nuth the police recorded 123 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Nuth calculated?
Nuth scores 6.5 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 Nuth 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.
