Safe, and nowhere really weak

Zevenend reaches 9.8 overall, and its property value is more than one and a half times the national median. Even so, the wealth & income pillar gets no further than 8.0, and that is the most interesting figure in this neighbourhood.

The reason lies in the components. The share of top incomes is well above the national median, but the share of low incomes sits practically on it, vacancy exactly on the median and the social assistance rate well above it. An expensive neighbourhood is not the same as a neighbourhood where everyone is comfortable.

The offence figures do point one way unambiguously: violence, theft and vandalism all three lie clearly below the national median and burglary exactly on it. That the quiet & nature score stalls at 6.8 is not down to the greenery — the tree canopy is more than twice as thick as average — but to density and noise.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zevenend a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zevenend comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zevenend 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 Zevenend?

In Zevenend the police recorded 87 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Zevenend calculated?

Zevenend scores 9.8 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 Zevenend 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.
