Safe streets, thinner wallets
Vleumingen scores 9.3 for safety with all four offence types below the national median, and still the overall score hangs at 7.0. That is down to wealth & income, at 3.5.
That figure is built from three things pointing the same way: property values far below the national middle, social assistance at nearly three times the median, and a vacancy rate of more than an eighth of addresses — the last of which is unusual for a densely built area and weighs more heavily in this pillar than ownership or renting does. The families pillar stands well at 8.4, with a primary school four hundred metres away, but greenery in the surrounding area is scarce and that pushes quiet & nature down to 4.0.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vleumingen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Vleumingen comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Vleumingen 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 Vleumingen?
In Vleumingen the police recorded 20 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Vleumingen calculated?
Vleumingen scores 7.0 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 Vleumingen 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.
