Rozengaard

1,310 residents · postal code 6441 · Part of Brunssum-Noord, Brunssum

Bottom 6% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little to spend

With an overall score of 2.9, Rozengaard belongs to the lowest tenth in the Netherlands, and the wealth pillar contributes most to that. Property value stays below half the Dutch median, more than half of households are in the lowest income group and the social assistance rate is almost eight times the national middle.

The safety pillar, at 4.9, is actually less extreme than the overall picture suggests: the offence rate is only just above the median and only violence stands out. For families it is distance that counts — the primary school is a kilometre away, and that is the heaviest component of that pillar, even though the GP and supermarket are closer. More than four in ten homes are occupied by a single person.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rozengaard a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rozengaard comes out at 26 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 Rozengaard?

In Rozengaard the police recorded 37 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Rozengaard calculated?

Rozengaard scores 2.9 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 Rozengaard 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.
