Everything for children close by, and little room

A 9.8 for families and a 3.1 for quiet & nature: Zwolseweg is densely built and has everything for children within reach. The primary school is four hundred metres away, and more than one in three households has children. In this pillar the distance and the population make-up therefore point the same way, which is far from true everywhere.

The safety figure of 4.7 is almost entirely down to theft. Violence is below the Dutch average, while property crime is nearly twice above it. The wealth & income pillar stands at a 7.6, carried by a property value just above the median and a social assistance rate at half the national middle. Within three hundred metres there is little greenery, and together with the density that explains the low quiet score.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zwolseweg a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zwolseweg comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Zwolseweg?

In Zwolseweg the police recorded 99 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Zwolseweg calculated?

Zwolseweg scores 8.4 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 Zwolseweg 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.
