Everything close by, little space
Sevenum is a village centre that does not win on quiet. A 4.9 sounds strange for a place where the noise level lies below the Dutch median, but that pillar measures more than noise: greenery, tree canopy and surface water count just as heavily, and on all three Sevenum comes out below the national figure. Water is even absent altogether.
The amenities are in better shape. Supermarket, GP, school and a place to eat are all within a kilometre, and the station a few kilometres away — for a village of this size that is worth an 8.3.
The wealth score sticks at a 5.0, and unlike in many neighbourhoods with that figure there is not a single outlier. Property values lag behind the median, the top income group is narrower than usual, the bottom one broader, and social assistance lies one and a half times above it. Four small deviations, all pointing the same way.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sevenum a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Sevenum comes out at 22 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 Sevenum?
In Sevenum the police recorded 129 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Sevenum calculated?
Sevenum scores 7.3 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 Sevenum 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.
