Everything close by, little space

Zesgehuchten records clearly fewer reported offences than the average Dutch neighbourhood, and still safety stops at a 6.5. One category explains that: burglary is well above the national median here, while violence, property crime and vandalism are all three below it. The risk is at the front door, not on the street.

The 5.4 for quiet & nature is not down to a shortage of greenery: both the green cover nearby and the tree canopy are above the national median. Noise is what pushes the pillar down, at a level noticeably above the middle.

Behind the 6.8 for families sits an age balance that colours the rest. The primary school is six hundred metres away, so distance is not the problem; there are simply few children here, against almost three in ten residents aged 65 or over.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zesgehuchten a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zesgehuchten comes out at 19 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 Zesgehuchten?

In Zesgehuchten the police recorded 93 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Zesgehuchten calculated?

Zesgehuchten scores 8.1 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 Zesgehuchten 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.
