Everything close by, little space

All four offence types in Zienesch sit below the national median except burglary, which runs at one and a half times above it. The safety pillar still comes to 7.7, because theft here is less than half the national middle and violence is below it as well — together those two outweigh burglary alone.

The wealth & income pillar reaches 3.5, and that is not down to one component: property value well under the national middle, a thinly filled top income group, more than four in ten households in the bottom one and social assistance at nearly four times the median. Only vacancy is ordinary. Supermarket and GP are three hundred metres away; the station is almost thirteen kilometres off, and that pulls the amenities pillar down despite all that closeness.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zienesch a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zienesch comes out at 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zienesch 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 Zienesch?

In Zienesch the police recorded 19 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Zienesch calculated?

Zienesch scores 5.7 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 Zienesch 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.
