Safe streets, thinner wallets

All four types of reported offence in Vredenburg en omgeving lie below the national median, and for burglary and property crime the gap is a multiple. That is where the 10.0 for safety comes from, and it pulls the overall score to a 9.9 — a position in the top hundred and fifty in the country.

More interesting is what happens to wealth. That pillar stays at a 6.1 while the income side is actually in good shape: more households with a high income than nationally, fewer with a low one, and a social assistance rate under half the median. What holds the pillar down is the property value, which carries the most weight within it. For anyone moving here that means a neighbourhood modestly priced on paper but not modestly lived in. The 8.8 for families fits that: the primary school is five hundred metres away and well over a third of households have children. The railway station is the exception to the short distances.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vredenburg en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Vredenburg en omgeving?

In Vredenburg en omgeving the police recorded 33 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Vredenburg en omgeving calculated?

Vredenburg en omgeving scores 9.9 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 Vredenburg en omgeving 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.
