Everything for children close by, and little room

The primary school in Raam is four hundred metres away and the railway station nearly sixteen kilometres. Those two numbers sit in different pillars and explain why the neighbourhood reaches a 9.6 for families while getting no further than a 5.9 for amenities. For anyone living here that means: everything for daily life around the corner, but travel is done by car.

The quiet & nature pillar of 3.5 is the figure that stands out most in a neighbourhood of this size. The noise level lies clearly above the national median and there is less greenery in the surroundings than average, while the tree canopy in fact rises above it. Plenty of trees, then, but not silence. The wealth & income pillar of 6.1 is held back mainly by property value; social assistance comes in at less than half the median and there is hardly any vacancy. That makes Raam a neighbourhood financially steadier than its house prices show.

Frequently asked questions

Is Raam a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Raam comes out at 19 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 Raam?

In Raam the police recorded 61 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Raam calculated?

Raam scores 8.4 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 Raam 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.
