Safe, but everything is a drive away
In Raamsdonk everything is far away except the school. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are all nearly three kilometres off, the railway station more than fifteen; hence the 3.6 for amenities. The primary school is six hundred metres away, and that one counts not towards amenities but towards the families pillar, which comes out at 7.4.
Safety is the strongest of the set at 9.4: all four categories of offence stay below the national median, with violence and burglary at a fraction of it.
The wealth & income figures are mixed, with a property value above the median and a social assistance rate slightly above it too. With around twelve hundred residents per square kilometre and a share of greenery far above the national median, Raamsdonk sits in the thinly populated part of the country — which is exactly what makes the distances so long.

Frequently asked questions
Is Raamsdonk a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Raamsdonk comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Raamsdonk 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 Raamsdonk?
In Raamsdonk the police recorded 40 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 Raamsdonk calculated?
Raamsdonk scores 7.2 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 Raamsdonk 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.
