Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Of every thousand residents of Zandweerd-Zuid, many times more receive social assistance than is usual nationally, and together with a property value far below the national median and many households on a low income that produces a 3.2 for wealth & income. Only vacancy comes out favourably.

The safety score is less clear-cut than that suggests. Theft is below the national middle and burglary sits exactly on it; it is violence and vandalism that hold the score at a 4.9.

Against that stands an 8.5 for families, and it is fairly earned: the primary school is five hundred metres away, as is the supermarket. Noise comes out exactly on the national median, but greenery within three hundred metres stays far below it, and that pushes the quiet pillar down.

For 2025, Zandweerd-Zuid comes out at 26 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 Zandweerd-Zuid?

In Zandweerd-Zuid the police recorded 82 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Zandweerd-Zuid calculated?

Zandweerd-Zuid 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 Zandweerd-Zuid 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.
