Safe, but not spacious

Het Fetlaer en Spijkvoorder Enk earns a 10.0 for safety with all four offence types below the national median, and across more than two thousand seven hundred residents that is not a matter of chance. Nationally the neighbourhood ranks in the top hundred on this point.

Every home here was built after the turn of the century, and the age profile shows it: almost six in ten households have children and hardly anyone is over sixty-five. That is where the 9.1 for families comes from, because at more than a kilometre the primary school is not especially close.

The wealth pillar is favourable across almost the whole board — property value above the national median, many high incomes, few low ones, virtually no vacancy — with the social assistance rate the only component above the national figure. For amenities, everything is about a kilometre away: cycling distance, not walking distance.

Frequently asked questions

Is Het Fetlaer en Spijkvoorder Enk a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Het Fetlaer en Spijkvoorder Enk?

In Het Fetlaer en Spijkvoorder Enk the police recorded 19 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (9 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 Het Fetlaer en Spijkvoorder Enk calculated?

Het Fetlaer en Spijkvoorder Enk scores 9.7 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 Het Fetlaer en Spijkvoorder Enk lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
