Spacious, but safety lags
The figures for Vredeoord fall so far outside the ordinary that they need explaining first. The recorded violence rate here is dozens of times the national median, not a single household has children, and almost every household consists of one person. The safety pillar comes to 2.5.
There is no property value listed for this neighbourhood; that figure is missing, and without it the wealth & income pillar rests on less than its full weight. What is there is striking: nine in ten households have a low income and vacancy is more than five times the national middle.
With four hundred and fifty residents every record counts heavily per thousand, but a gap of this order is too large to put down to small numbers. What keeps quiet & nature at 7.0 is the greenery: well above the median, with a dense tree canopy.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vredeoord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Vredeoord comes out at 182 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Vredeoord 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 Vredeoord?
In Vredeoord the police recorded 163 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (182 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 Vredeoord calculated?
Vredeoord scores 2.5 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 Vredeoord 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.
