neighbourhood in Heiloo
Zuiderloo
1,780 residents · postal code 1853 · Part of Stationsomgeving, Heiloo
Well-off, but not spacious
Almost three quarters of Zuiderloo was built after 2000, and that shows in the wealth & income pillar: high property values, a third of households in the top income group, no social assistance and virtually no vacancy. A 9.9 resting on four components at once.
Safety is nearly as strong. Violence, vandalism and property crime are all three far below the national middle; only burglary comes out slightly above, the single exception in an otherwise clean picture.
What stands out is the families score of 7.2, because almost half of households here have children. The explanation is distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and within that pillar distance weighs more heavily than the number of children living there. The supermarket and GP are the same distance away, which keeps amenities at 6.1.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zuiderloo a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zuiderloo comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zuiderloo is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Zuiderloo?
In Zuiderloo the police recorded 20 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Zuiderloo calculated?
Zuiderloo scores 9.7 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 Zuiderloo 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.
