De Vergert
2,365 residents · postal code 6921 · Part of Duiven-Noord, Duiven
Safe, but not spacious
At 9.9, De Vergert is among the very highest neighbourhoods in the country for safety, and the score holds on each of the four types: all four sit below the national middle, burglary at a fraction of it.
The quiet & nature pillar, by contrast, stops at 3.8, and crime plays no part in that — this pillar measures density, noise, green, trees and water. There is no water here, the tree canopy is around the national level, the share of green below it and the noise above it. At more than four thousand residents per square kilometre that produces a low score, however safe the neighbourhood otherwise is.
Wealth & income comes out at 4.4 while almost eighty per cent of the homes are owner-occupied. The property value is well below the median and the social assistance rate almost three times above it; together those two weigh more than the ownership share.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Vergert a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Vergert comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Vergert is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Vergert?
In De Vergert the police recorded 35 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 De Vergert calculated?
De Vergert 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 De Vergert 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.
