Safe, and nowhere really weak

Four pillars above seven and one at 6.5 — in Zuid Oost the story sits in that one figure. The primary school is five hundred metres away, so distance is not the issue. It is the age structure: more than a quarter of residents are 65 or older and only one in ten is under fifteen, far below the national middle.

The quiet & nature pillar shows what that yields. Three quarters of the immediate surroundings are green, the building density is low for a residential neighbourhood, and together that carries a 7.6 despite traffic noise above the median.

Safety at 8.6 is broadly founded: violence, property crime and vandalism are all three well below the national middle. Only burglary comes out at double the median — the one type in this neighbourhood that runs against the trend.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zuid Oost a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Zuid Oost?

In Zuid Oost the police recorded 27 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 Zuid Oost calculated?

Zuid Oost scores 9.5 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 Zuid Oost 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.
