Everything for children close by, and little room

The social assistance rate in Drents Dorp is almost eight times as high as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. That figure explains the 3.9 for wealth & income, together with property values below the national middle and a bottom income group that is clearly wider than nationally. None of the components points the other way.

With safety it is not about theft. Property offences are actually recorded less often here than in the average neighbourhood; it is violence and vandalism that are both well above it, and those are the components that count for most. A 4.0 that therefore says something about what happens on the street.

Against that stands an 8.1 for families, carried by a primary school five hundred metres away. Anyone raising children here has the short route to school in their favour and the rest of the figures against them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Drents Dorp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Drents Dorp comes out at 29 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Drents Dorp?

In Drents Dorp the police recorded 98 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (29 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 Drents Dorp calculated?

Drents Dorp scores 3.9 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 Drents Dorp 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.
