735 residents · postal code 2153 · Part of Nieuw-Vennep, Haarlemmermeer
Well-off, but not carefree
Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving is open country: fewer than thirty residents per square kilometre, almost everything single-family housing, and the nearest supermarket and GP more than two kilometres away. That last point pushes amenities down to a 4.4, and the primary school at almost two kilometres pushes the families score down to a 4.0.
The 8.4 for wealth & income is partly what it appears to be. Property values are far above the national median and social assistance does not occur, but the share of low incomes sits exactly at the national middle and one in ten homes stands empty — more than twice the usual rate. That is the component that does not move with the rest.
The quiet & nature pillar shows how coarse such a measurement is. More than two thirds of the surroundings are green, but traffic noise is eight decibels above the median and the tree canopy is a fraction of the national average. A 6.0 in open country, and the reason is in the noise.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving comes out at 67 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving?
In Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving the police recorded 104 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (67 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 Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving calculated?
Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving scores 3.5 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 Nieuw-Vennep Omgeving 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.
