Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children

More than an eighth of the surface of De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg is water, against half a per cent nationally. That is the main reason the quiet & nature pillar comes out at 7.8 while the noise level sits above the national median: water and greenery offset what the traffic costs.

The 6.9 for wealth & income is mixed. Property value is above the median and high incomes are well represented, but the share on social assistance is above the median too and vacancy sits exactly on it — this is not a neighbourhood that is well-off on every component. The families score of 5.4 hangs on the age structure: nearly a third of residents are 65 or over and few children live here, while the primary school is within walking range.

Frequently asked questions

Is De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg comes out at 20 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 De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg?

In De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg the police recorded 61 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg calculated?

De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg scores 7.6 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 De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg 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.
