Top 8% in the Netherlands

Safe, but not spacious

Two per cent of Weideveld's residents are 65 or over. The neighbourhood was built entirely this century and almost two thirds of households have children, but that yields no more than a 7.0 for families: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and that distance counts for most within the pillar.

On wealth & income the neighbourhood scores 8.3, and apart from vacancy every component points the same way — high property value, many high incomes, few low ones, hardly any social assistance. Vacancy is just above the national median and is the only brake.

The 9.9 for safety tells the same story throughout: not one type of offence reaches the national middle. What the neighbourhood does not have is space. Building density is high and the tree canopy stays at a fraction of the median, which keeps the quiet & nature pillar at 5.1.

Frequently asked questions

Is Weideveld a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Weideveld?

In Weideveld the police recorded 28 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Weideveld calculated?

Weideveld scores 9.4 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 Weideveld 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.
