Plenty of space, less prosperity
The primary school in Termunterzijl is three hundred metres away, yet the families pillar still stalls at 5.8. That is not only about distances: childcare and secondary education also count in that pillar, and with so few residents the share of children here is small.
Water determines the rest. Almost a fifth of the surface consists of it, noise levels are well below the national median, and together that produces an 8.9 for quiet & nature.
The wealth & income pillar comes out at 2.7 and all its components point the same way: property value is far below the national median, the share of high incomes is small, the share of low incomes large and the social assistance rate a good four times the median. What that means in practice: buying here is cheap, and the nearest supermarket is almost four kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Termunterzijl a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Termunterzijl comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Termunterzijl?
In Termunterzijl the police recorded 4 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Termunterzijl calculated?
Termunterzijl scores 3.2 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 Termunterzijl 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.
