Well-off, but not carefree
Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en omgeving scores 9.9 for wealth & income and 4.5 for safety, and those two figures are about the same thing. Theft here runs at more than three and a half times the national level, while violence is the only type that stays below it and burglary lands exactly on the median. That is the profile of a place where things go missing, not of a neighbourhood where you would rather stay in after dark.
The wealth & income pillar sits on the same side on all four components: a property value at almost double the national middle, the top income bracket more than twice as broad as usual, and not a single social assistance claim recorded.
The 7.6 for quiet & nature is lower than the greenery and the thick tree canopy suggest, and that is down to noise: a good five decibels above the national median, at a population density that is not exceptional. Something nearby makes audible noise here, and that is precisely what the overall score of 9.9 does not show.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en omgeving comes out at 50 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en 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 Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en omgeving?
In Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en omgeving the police recorded 193 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (50 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 Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en omgeving calculated?
Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en omgeving scores 9.9 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 Zandvoortselaan en Berkenrode en 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.
