Spacious, but safety lags
Two figures pull Verspreide huizen Sevenum down, and neither is the one you would expect in open countryside. Safety stands at 2.9: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four above the national median here, with property crime furthest above it. Alongside that a 3.1 for families, and that comes mainly from distance — the primary school is two kilometres away, and school distance carries the most weight in that pillar.
What sits on the other side disappears into the overall score of 3.2. Property values are above the national median and social assistance does not appear in this neighbourhood's statistics; together that produces a 7.2 for wealth & income. And it is quiet: less traffic noise than is usual nationally, more tree canopy, and an 8.6 for quiet & nature.

Frequently asked questions
Is Verspreide huizen Sevenum a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Verspreide huizen Sevenum comes out at 63 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Verspreide huizen Sevenum is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Verspreide huizen Sevenum?
In Verspreide huizen Sevenum the police recorded 208 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (63 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 Verspreide huizen Sevenum calculated?
Verspreide huizen Sevenum scores 3.2 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 Verspreide huizen 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.
