Safe, but everything is a drive away
Rengerswetering was built entirely after 2000, and the quiet & nature pillar shows it. The greenery around the neighbourhood is above the national middle, but the tree canopy is almost absent: under three per cent of the surroundings sits beneath a canopy, against nearly nine per cent nationally. Greenery and trees are not the same thing here — what is there is open space, not shade.
The 4.7 for amenities does not come from daily shopping but from everything else. The supermarket and the GP are a little under two kilometres away, the station nearly nine. Anyone living here without a car notices that difference every day.
Against that stands a families score of 7.9 that is genuinely backed by what sits underneath it: half the households have children and the primary school is a kilometre away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rengerswetering a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Rengerswetering comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Rengerswetering?
In Rengerswetering the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Rengerswetering calculated?
Rengerswetering 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 Rengerswetering 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.
