Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Quiet and safe, but not wealthy — that is the shortest summary of Dedemsvaart-Zuidwest. The noise level is well below the national middle, greenery in the surrounding area above it, and the quiet & nature pillar reaches 8.2 as a result. The crime figures for all four types sit below or around the median; only vandalism is clearly above it.

The wealth & income pillar stalls at 3.9 and there the same consistency runs the other way: low property value, a thin top income group, a broad bottom one and three times as many social assistance benefits per thousand residents as nationally. Only vacancy stays low.

The railway station is almost twelve kilometres away and pushes the amenities pillar down to 5.2, while supermarket, GP and school are all within just over a kilometre. Anyone living here without a car notices exactly that one gap.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dedemsvaart-Zuidwest a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Dedemsvaart-Zuidwest?

In Dedemsvaart-Zuidwest the police recorded 52 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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-Zuidwest calculated?

Dedemsvaart-Zuidwest scores 7.4 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 Dedemsvaart-Zuidwest 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.
