Plenty of space, less prosperity

Everything for the daily shop is within a kilometre in Zeeland: shop, GP, school, place to eat. Still the amenities figure sticks at a 6.6. The reason lies further along in that same pillar — the railway station is more than thirteen kilometres away, and that counts more heavily than a café or a library. Anyone without a car here notices it daily.

The wealth score surprises in a different way. Property values lie above the Dutch median, so that is not where the 5.6 comes from. It is on the income side: the top income group is thinner than nationally, the bottom one broader, and the social assistance figure lies one and a half times above it.

Among the offences only theft stands out, and then favourably — it is around half as common here as nationally. Burglary and vandalism sit exactly on the median, and violence just below it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zeeland a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zeeland 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 Zeeland?

In Zeeland the police recorded 116 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 Zeeland calculated?

Zeeland scores 7.3 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 Zeeland 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.
