Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Zuilenburg en omgeving has the amenities a neighbourhood needs — supermarket, GP, restaurant and school all within six hundred metres — and that yields an 8.6, alongside a 9.0 for families.

The 4.0 for wealth & income comes from two components at once. The property value is below the national median and the number of social assistance payments per thousand residents more than four times above it. The income distribution itself says little: the lowest group sits exactly on the national median and therefore points nowhere.

On safety, residential burglary is the striking figure, more than twice the median, while total reported offences stay below the national level. After violence, burglary is the heaviest component of that pillar, and that is why a neighbourhood with few reports still gets no further than a 5.8.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zuilenburg en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zuilenburg en omgeving comes out at 19 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 Zuilenburg en omgeving?

In Zuilenburg en omgeving the police recorded 36 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Zuilenburg en omgeving calculated?

Zuilenburg en omgeving scores 6.7 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 Zuilenburg 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.
