Well-off, schools and childcare further off
More than eighty per cent of the surface of Vinkeveen Plassengebied is water, and the property value is roughly three times the national median. Even so, the quiet & nature pillar gets no further than 5.5, because water is only a fifth of it: the greenery around and the tree canopy are both far below the national level, and that weighs more heavily here.
The wealth & income pillar reaches 8.8 and no more, despite that property value. The brake is the vacancy rate, at roughly four times the national level.
The families score of 2.7 is the lowest figure in this neighbourhood, and it comes from two directions: the primary school is more than two and a half kilometres away and the share of children is small. The shop and GP are also more than two kilometres off, which holds amenities at 3.9.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vinkeveen Plassengebied a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Vinkeveen Plassengebied comes out at 25 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 Vinkeveen Plassengebied?
In Vinkeveen Plassengebied the police recorded 82 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Vinkeveen Plassengebied calculated?
Vinkeveen Plassengebied scores 4.5 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 Vinkeveen Plassengebied 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.
