Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Not a single home in De Whee II-Zuid was built after 2000, and they are all family houses. What follows from that shows up in two figures far apart: an 8.7 for families and a 4.2 for wealth & income.
That second figure turns on the rate of social assistance, almost three times the national level here, and on property values that stay far below the national median. The income distribution points the same way; only vacancy is low.
The 8.2 for quiet & nature comes from something the map does not show at once: the tree canopy in the immediate surroundings is more than twice as dense as the national norm, and noise is below the middle. The crime figure carries one warning, because burglary is reported more than three times as often as average here, while violence and theft stay below it.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Whee II-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Whee II-Zuid comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Whee II-Zuid?
In De Whee II-Zuid the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 De Whee II-Zuid calculated?
De Whee II-Zuid scores 7.2 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 De Whee II-Zuid 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.
