Safe, but not spacious
Zandrijk's crime figures nearly all point the same way, with one exception. Violence, burglary and theft sit below the national median; vandalism sits clearly above it. That barely shifts the 8.6 for safety, since violence and burglary carry the most weight, but it does say what goes wrong here: damage to things in public space, not violence between people.
Against that safety score stands a 4.2 for quiet & nature, and the two do not contradict each other. Zandrijk is densely built, in the three hundred metres around it greenery stays below the national median and traffic noise sits just above it. Anyone moving here trades space for a compact, recently built neighbourhood with a property value well above the Dutch middle.
The 6.0 for amenities hangs almost entirely on the railway station, which is kilometres away. Supermarket, restaurant and primary school are all within walking distance; public transport is what is missing here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zandrijk a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zandrijk comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zandrijk 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 Zandrijk?
In Zandrijk the police recorded 49 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Zandrijk calculated?
Zandrijk scores 8.7 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 Zandrijk 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.
