Plenty of space, less prosperity
Reuver has a railway station less than a kilometre away, and for a village centre that is not a given; it lifts amenities to a 8.5.
The 5.5 for safety needs explaining, because the total number of registrations here is below the national median. It is in the composition: violence, at almost a third the heaviest component of that pillar, is above it, while theft and vandalism stay below. A single category thus pulls down a score you would have estimated higher on the basis of the total.
On wealth not everything points the same way: property value stays well below the Dutch middle and top incomes are uncommon, while almost nothing is vacant. On balance a 4.0 remains, and of the five pillars that is the score that drags the total down hardest.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reuver a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Reuver comes out at 23 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 Reuver?
In Reuver the police recorded 170 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Reuver calculated?
Reuver scores 6.7 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 Reuver 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.
