Everything close by, little to spend
It is quiet in Wemeldinge: the noise level is seven decibels below the national median. Even so, the quiet & nature pillar gets no further than 5.8, because the tree canopy around it does not even reach two thirds of the national share and there is no water at all.
Of the four types of offence only violence is above the national median, and that is the heaviest-weighted one. Property offences are at less than half the median, burglary and vandalism below it as well. In a neighbourhood of this size, violence amounts to a handful more reports a year than is usual.
The wealth & income pillar drops to 4.7 without social assistance having anything to do with it — that is below the national level here. It is property value and vacancy that push the pillar down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wemeldinge a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Wemeldinge comes out at 21 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 Wemeldinge?
In Wemeldinge the police recorded 83 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Wemeldinge calculated?
Wemeldinge scores 6.8 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 Wemeldinge 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.
