Safe, but not spacious

Burglary hardly happens in Wildackers: the rate is a fraction of the national median. Vandalism, on the other hand, is above it, and that is the item still tempering the 8.2 for safety. For residents that is a concrete distinction: the chance that someone has been inside your house is small here.

The 5.6 for families is more striking than it looks, because the primary school is seven hundred metres away and distance therefore cannot be dragging the figure down. The age structure can: nearly three in ten residents are 65 or over and the share of children is a quarter below the national level.

The wealth & income pillar sticks at 4.2 because property value and incomes are both below the Dutch middle; only vacancy is favourable.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wildackers a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Wildackers 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 Wildackers?

In Wildackers the police recorded 56 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 Wildackers calculated?

Wildackers scores 6.0 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 Wildackers 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.
