neighbourhood in Hardenberg
Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos
100 residents · postal code 7701 · Part of Dedemsvaart, Hardenberg
Room to spare, amenities further off
Thirty-seven decibels is almost fourteen below the national median and ranks among the stillest readings in the country. Together with four fifths greenery within three hundred metres, that gives Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos a 9.6 for quiet & nature. The price sits right beside it: supermarket and GP over four kilometres away, the station nearly eleven, and a 2.7 for amenities.
At a hundred residents every crime rate is a handful of cases, but one pattern is clear: burglary here runs at almost six times the national middle while theft is barely above it. That is the familiar picture of houses standing far apart. Incomes and social assistance go unpublished here — too few households — so the 8.9 for wealth leans on property value, well above the national middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos?
In Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos the police recorded 5 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos calculated?
Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos scores 3.9 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 Verspreide huizen Colenbranderbos 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.
