Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Dedemsvaart-Noord shows how differently two types of offence can behave inside one neighbourhood: theft and vandalism are below the national median, while violence and burglary sit above it. The total therefore stays just under the national median, but that average hides more than it reveals.
The 3.4 for wealth & income is the figure dragging the rest down. The property value stays far below the median, the top income group is narrow and the bottom one wide, and social assistance is well above the middle. Only vacancy is slightly above it without changing the direction.
Almost three in ten residents are 65 or older, and yet there is a 7.7 for families — that pillar looks mainly at the distance to school and childcare, not at the age structure. The train is thirteen kilometres away.

For 2025, Dedemsvaart-Noord comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Dedemsvaart-Noord?
In Dedemsvaart-Noord the police recorded 138 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Dedemsvaart-Noord calculated?
Dedemsvaart-Noord 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 Dedemsvaart-Noord 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.
