Everything close by, safety lags
Ammerzoden's safety score is an instructive case. The total number of reported offences is well below the national middle value, and yet the pillar gets no further than 5.3. The reason is in the breakdown: violence and burglary are both above it, and those two together account for almost sixty per cent of the score. Property offences and vandalism sit below, but count for less.
This is also a village that is ageing. Almost three in ten residents are over 65 and the share of children is below the national level — which explains the 6.2 for families, despite a primary school five hundred metres away.
Wealth and income comes out at 5.4, and that figure is divided: property value sits almost exactly on the Dutch middle value and vacancy below it, while the bottom income group is broader than nationally and social assistance clearly above.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ammerzoden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Ammerzoden comes out at 18 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 Ammerzoden?
In Ammerzoden the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Ammerzoden calculated?
Ammerzoden scores 6.3 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 Ammerzoden 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.
