Bottom 32% in the Netherlands

Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 2.7 for wealth & income puts Uithuizermeeden Noord among the weakest neighbourhoods in the country on that count, and every component points the same way: a property value a little over half the Dutch middle, a top income group that does not reach half the national share, and far more social assistance than usual.

The safety score of 6.4 is less reassuring than it looks. The total number of offences sits almost exactly on the national median, but violence runs more than twice above it — precisely the component that counts heaviest.

What the neighbourhood does have is proximity: station, supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre. For a village neighbourhood built this thinly that is exceptional, and it is why amenities and families are the only pillars above seven here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Uithuizermeeden Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Uithuizermeeden Noord comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Uithuizermeeden Noord?

In Uithuizermeeden Noord the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Uithuizermeeden Noord calculated?

Uithuizermeeden Noord scores 4.8 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 Uithuizermeeden Noord 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.
