neighbourhood in Haarlemmermeer
Zwanenburg Omgeving
65 residents · postal code 1161 · Part of Zwanenburg, Haarlemmermeer
Well-off, but not carefree
Zwanenburg Omgeving has sixty-five residents, which makes nearly every figure on this page a small-numbers story. The 2.8 for safety stands for a handful of reported offences; one registration more or less shifts the rate per thousand residents considerably. Read it as an indication, not as a trend.
For the same reason the income data are missing: Statistics Netherlands does not publish them where there are too few households. The wealth & income pillar therefore leans on what is available — property values far above the national median and many owner-occupied homes — producing an 8.5. The vacancy rate, at fourteen per cent, is strikingly high.
The families score of 4.6 comes mainly from distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and distance is the heaviest component of that pillar. The fact that almost half of households have children does not outweigh it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zwanenburg Omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zwanenburg Omgeving comes out at 63 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Zwanenburg 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 Zwanenburg Omgeving?
In Zwanenburg Omgeving the police recorded 27 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (63 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 Zwanenburg Omgeving calculated?
Zwanenburg Omgeving scores 4.4 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 Zwanenburg 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.
