Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 9.5 for families and a 2.9 for wealth & income in the same neighbourhood: Flevowijk shows that those two pillars know nothing of each other. The families score comes from the primary school three hundred metres away, about the shortest distance you can have in the Netherlands, with supermarket and GP equally close.

The wealth measurements meanwhile point the same way on all four components. Social assistance runs almost nine times the national rate, more than half of households are on a low income, high incomes are rare and property values sit well below the national median. Only vacancy is low, which means those cheap homes are being lived in. The crime picture sits in between, with property offences and vandalism above the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Flevowijk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Flevowijk comes out at 32 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 Flevowijk?

In Flevowijk the police recorded 136 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Flevowijk calculated?

Flevowijk scores 4.9 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 Flevowijk 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.
