Everything close by, little space

Everything in Vogelweide is within eight hundred metres: supermarket, GP, primary school, restaurant, and the station just over a kilometre off. That 8.9 for amenities is therefore not a matter of one strong facility but of a complete set within walking distance.

A quarter of residents are over sixty-five, and yet the families pillar stands at 8.2. That comes down to how the pillar is built: school and childcare distance make up nearly two thirds of it, and the primary school here is four hundred metres away. The share of children itself sits at the national middle.

Quiet & nature lags at 4.0, and not because of one thing. Greenery within three hundred metres reaches three quarters of the national level, tree canopy stays just under it, noise is four decibels above, and almost eight thousand people live per square kilometre. Only the water comes out favourably. Four of the five components point the same way, and that is exactly what turns a middling score into a low one.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vogelweide a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vogelweide comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Vogelweide?

In Vogelweide the police recorded 45 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Vogelweide calculated?

Vogelweide scores 8.7 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 Vogelweide 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.
