Zenderen
945 residents · postal code 7625 · Part of Buitengebied Borne, Borne
Safe, but everything is a drive away
Zenderen scores 9.6 for safety on four offence types that all sit below the national median, burglary and violence most clearly. That is rare: usually at least one category pokes above the middle.
The amenities pillar stops at 4.4, and that figure hides a lopsided spread. Restaurant and primary school are both four hundred metres away, but supermarket and GP are over three kilometres off — and those two together account for two fifths of that pillar. For the daily shop you have to leave the village. The school distance does deliver an 8.4 for families, while a quarter of residents are over 65; that pillar mainly measures how near the schooling is, not how many children live there.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zenderen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zenderen comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zenderen is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Zenderen?
In Zenderen the police recorded 15 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Zenderen calculated?
Zenderen scores 8.5 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 Zenderen 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.
