Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The primary school in Enkweg is three hundred metres away, and that is almost the entire story behind the 9.0 for families. Distance to school and childcare carries almost two thirds of that pillar; the share of children here is nationally ordinary.
The 3.9 for wealth & income is considerably less clear-cut than it looks. Vacancy is close to zero, but the other three components all point the same way: the property value stands at around four fifths of the median, the share of higher incomes at a bit over half the national middle, and the social assistance rate at almost three times the national one.
With more than five thousand residents per square kilometre and nine in ten homes single-family houses, this is tightly packed low-rise. That pushes quiet & nature down to 5.3 while the noise level here actually stays below the Dutch middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is Enkweg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Enkweg comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Enkweg?
In Enkweg the police recorded 40 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Enkweg calculated?
Enkweg scores 7.7 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 Enkweg 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.
