Everything for children close by, and little room
Parkheide scores 9.5 for families and 3.6 for quiet & nature, and those are two sides of the same built environment. The school is four hundred metres away and more than four in ten households have children; at the same time the share of greenery within three hundred metres stays well below the national median and the tree canopy is thinner than average. Traffic noise plays hardly any part here, sitting practically on the national middle.
The 8.6 for safety rests above all on what does not happen: burglary is a fraction of the median and property crime a good half, while violence comes out just above. The 6.5 for wealth & income does not come from property value — that stays below the Dutch middle — but from the income distribution and the low social assistance rate.

Frequently asked questions
Is Parkheide a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Parkheide comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Parkheide is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Parkheide?
In Parkheide the police recorded 28 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Parkheide calculated?
Parkheide scores 8.8 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 Parkheide 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.
