Safe streets, thinner wallets

Neerakkers has no score for amenities, which means its overall score of 5.6 rests on four pillars instead of five. The income distribution and the vacancy figure are not published here either: the CBS withholds them where there are too few households.

What is known does colour the 4.8 for wealth & income. Property values sit close to the national median, but the number of social assistance payments per thousand residents is almost three times above it. The low score, in other words, does not come from the housing market.

Safety stands up better. Recorded offences stay well below the national figure, and violence, property crime and vandalism all sit under the median; only burglary is slightly above it. In a neighbourhood of this size that is not a matter of one report tipping the picture.

Frequently asked questions

Is Neerakkers a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Neerakkers?

In Neerakkers the police recorded 56 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Neerakkers calculated?

Neerakkers scores 5.6 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 Neerakkers 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.
