Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The railway station in Nieuw-Vennep Oost is seven hundred metres away, which for a neighbourhood of fewer than a thousand residents and low building density is unusually close. Together with a supermarket and a restaurant round the corner, it produces an 8.5 for amenities.
There is a price, and it sits in the quiet & nature score: traffic noise is almost ten decibels above the national median here, and that is the component pushing the pillar down to 4.2 while the greenery around is reasonably in order.
The 4.1 for safety is almost entirely one type. Property crime occurs four times as often as in the median Dutch neighbourhood; violence is around the national middle and burglary below it. That is not the picture of an unsafe street, but of a place where belongings disappear.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nieuw-Vennep Oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Nieuw-Vennep Oost comes out at 59 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Nieuw-Vennep Oost 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 Oost?
In Nieuw-Vennep Oost the police recorded 154 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (59 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 Oost calculated?
Nieuw-Vennep Oost scores 4.9 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 Oost 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.
