Safe streets, thinner wallets

Property crime in Doorzwin occurs less than half as often as in the median Dutch neighbourhood, and burglary is virtually absent; together with violence and vandalism below the national middle, that produces a 9.0 for safety. All four types point the same way.

The wealth & income pillar trails far behind at 4.8, and that comes from one component. Property values are just over half the national median, while the share of high incomes sits practically on the median, the share of low incomes below it and social assistance slightly above. It is the bricks that hold the figure down here, not the wallets.

Distances are the second weak point: supermarket and GP one and a half kilometres away, the primary school more than a kilometre and the station more than six. That explains both the 4.8 for amenities and the 5.8 for families, in a neighbourhood where more than a third of households do have children.

Frequently asked questions

Is Doorzwin a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Doorzwin comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Doorzwin is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Doorzwin?

In Doorzwin the police recorded 30 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 Doorzwin calculated?

Doorzwin scores 5.8 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 Doorzwin 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.
