Everything for children close by, and little room
Vierendelen scores 7.6 overall, but the wealth & income pillar lags at 5.2 — and that figure is not clear-cut. The rate of social assistance is below the national median and the high-income share just above it, but the share of low-income households is clearly higher than the national figure and so is vacancy. This cannot be called a prosperous place, nor a poor one.
The crime picture is markedly favourable: violence and vandalism are at half the national median, and that yields a 7.9. Only burglaries are above the national median.
The weakest pillar is quiet & nature, at 4.2, and that is not down to noise. Traffic noise is below the national median; it is the greenery and the tree canopy that fall short, in a place with over three thousand residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vierendelen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Vierendelen comes out at 17 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 Vierendelen?
In Vierendelen the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Vierendelen calculated?
Vierendelen scores 7.6 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 Vierendelen 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.
