2,060 residents · postal code 1761 · Part of Anna Paulowna, Hollands Kroon
Everything close by, little to spend
Kleine Sluis has an overall score of 4.3 without a single disastrous pillar; it is two that come out low at once. Wealth & income stands at 3.4, with a property value well below the Dutch middle, almost half of households in the lowest income group and more than four times as much social assistance as nationally.
The 4.3 for families is the second, and it does not come from the primary school — that is seven hundred metres away. It lies in the population: the share of residents under fifteen is below the national middle and almost a third are 65 or over.
On safety the picture is mixed. Burglary is at practically zero, but property crime, violence and vandalism are all above the national median, and the total comes out more than a quarter above the national level.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kleine Sluis a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kleine Sluis comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Kleine Sluis?
In Kleine Sluis the police recorded 77 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Kleine Sluis calculated?
Kleine Sluis scores 4.3 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 Kleine Sluis 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.
