Safe streets, thinner wallets

A railway station just over a kilometre away is unusual for a village with this building density, and it is what keeps Feanwâlden above most places of comparable size on amenities. Supermarket, GP and school are moreover all three within eight hundred metres.

Greenery around the built-up area is far above the national middle and the noise level below it; those two carry the 7.8 for quiet & nature. Against that stands the weakest pillar: the 3.7 for wealth & income. The social assistance rate is more than four times the national median, the property value far below the middle and the highest income group thinner than nationally. Only vacancy works out favourably.

The families pillar stalls at 5.3 while the primary school is around the corner. So that is not about distance but about who lives here: almost three in ten residents are 65 or older and the share of children stays below the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Feanwâlden a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Feanwâlden?

In Feanwâlden the police recorded 65 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Feanwâlden calculated?

Feanwâlden scores 6.4 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 Feanwâlden 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.
