Safe streets, thinner wallets

Huizermaat Zuid comes nowhere near an outlier on any pillar; the overall score of 5.4 is the honest average of five middling figures. The 5.9 for amenities is the most misleading of them: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within walking range, but the nearest railway station is a good eight kilometres away and that counts.

The wealth & income pillar of 4.7 does not come from one direction. Property value stays below the national median, the share on social assistance is far above it, and both income groups deviate only slightly — it is the sum that makes the figure, not one weak point. What does stand up is vacancy: half the national level, in a neighbourhood where more than a third of residents are 65 or over.

Frequently asked questions

Is Huizermaat Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Huizermaat Zuid comes out at 22 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 Huizermaat Zuid?

In Huizermaat Zuid the police recorded 73 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 Huizermaat Zuid calculated?

Huizermaat Zuid scores 5.4 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 Huizermaat 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.
