Everything close by, safety lags
Every offence type in Rapenland is above the national median, burglary most clearly: reported almost six times as often as in the median Dutch neighbourhood. Together with the rest, that produces a 2.5 for safety.
The 7.9 for families stands apart from that and comes from the primary school four hundred metres away, not from the population: the share of households with children is small and more than half consist of one person.
On wealth & income, incomes pull the score down. Almost fifty per cent of all households fall into the lowest group and the social assistance rate is four times above the median, while vacancy sits exactly on the national median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rapenland a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Rapenland comes out at 64 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rapenland is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Rapenland?
In Rapenland the police recorded 236 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (64 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 Rapenland calculated?
Rapenland scores 3.1 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 Rapenland 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.
