Safe streets, thinner wallets
In income terms Zuidoost in Duiven is statistically an average neighbourhood: the share of high incomes and the share of low incomes both sit exactly on the national median. Even so, the wealth & income pillar stays at a 5.3, and that comes from the other components — a property value below the middle and a social assistance rate of more than two and a half times the national level, set against vacancy that is close to zero.
The 8.9 for safety is the strongest score here. Violence runs at a quarter of the median and vandalism at less than half; only burglary rises above it.
The station is just over a kilometre away and the school is around the corner, but there is barely any new build: almost the entire housing stock predates 2000.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zuidoost comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zuidoost 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 Zuidoost?
In Zuidoost the police recorded 77 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Zuidoost calculated?
Zuidoost scores 8.5 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 Zuidoost 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.
