Everything for children close by, and little room

More than half of the households in Zonne Veld have children at home and the entire neighbourhood was built after 2000. With the primary school six hundred metres away, the families pillar reaches a 9.5, among the thousand highest in the country.

Quiet & nature lags at 4.2, and that is not down to noise: noise is only slightly above the national median. It comes from density and above all from the tree canopy, which here is a fraction of the national share; the water nearby cannot make up for it. In the safety figures violence is the only type above the median — burglary, property crime and vandalism are all three below it, producing a 6.9 in a neighbourhood that otherwise scores above average on almost every component.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zonne Veld a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zonne Veld comes out at 22 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 Zonne Veld?

In Zonne Veld the police recorded 105 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Zonne Veld calculated?

Zonne Veld scores 9.0 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 Zonne Veld 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.
