Wognum Wadway

50 residents · postal code 1687 · Part of Wognum, Medemblik

Bottom 31% in the Netherlands

Well-off, schools and childcare further off

Wognum Wadway has around fifty residents, and that colours almost everything there is to say about it. Statistics Netherlands does not publish incomes or social assistance here — with too few households, the bureau withholds those figures — so the wealth & income pillar rests almost entirely on property value. That sits far above the national median, and it is where the 10.0 comes from.

The offence rate is above the median, but at these numbers a single report already translates into a sharply elevated rate per thousand residents; there is no pattern to speak of here. What is solid is distance: school, supermarket and GP are all almost three kilometres away, and that pushes both amenities and families below four. Almost half of all residents are 65 or over.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wognum Wadway a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Wognum Wadway comes out at 31 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Wognum Wadway?

In Wognum Wadway the police recorded 2 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Wognum Wadway calculated?

Wognum Wadway scores 4.8 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 Wognum Wadway 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.
