Safe, but everything is a drive away

Violence and burglary in Wittenstein en omgeving both stand at a fraction of the national middle, and property crime and vandalism stay well beneath it too. That all four categories point the same way is what carries the 9.8 for safety; in an area of over three thousand residents that is no fluke.

The amenities pillar is the counterpart. Supermarket and GP are both around or above a kilometre away and the station just over three, and it is those first two that weigh the most. A 6.0 is the result, while the primary school at four hundred metres lifts the families pillar to a 9.6.

The wealth & income column is mildly positive but not pronounced: the share of low incomes lies below the national middle and vacancy is near zero; set against that are a property value below the median and a social assistance rate slightly above it. That produces a 6.5 that overstates nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wittenstein en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Wittenstein en omgeving?

In Wittenstein en omgeving the police recorded 46 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Wittenstein en omgeving calculated?

Wittenstein en omgeving scores 9.8 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 Wittenstein 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.
