Top 25% in the Netherlands

Safe streets, thinner wallets

Voorkoop Zuid scores 9.4 for safety, and that figure is carried by the heaviest item: violence is recorded here more than four times less often than nationally. Burglary, property crime and vandalism also sit below the median.

The wealth & income pillar points the other way. Property value stays a sixth below the national middle, top incomes are scarcer than nationally and the lowest incomes considerably more numerous, while the social assistance rate is at almost three times.

Almost a third of residents are 65 or older, well above the national share. The families score of 8.5 stands apart from that: for almost two thirds that pillar measures distances to school and childcare, and the primary school here is five hundred metres away. A high score here means accessibility, not a young population.

Frequently asked questions

Is Voorkoop Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Voorkoop Zuid comes out at 17 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 Voorkoop Zuid?

In Voorkoop Zuid the police recorded 38 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 Voorkoop Zuid calculated?

Voorkoop Zuid scores 8.2 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 Voorkoop Zuid 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.
