Safe streets, thinner wallets

Siddeburen is a village with everything within six hundred metres — supermarket, GP, primary school, restaurant — and a station ten kilometres away. That combination yields a 7.6 for amenities, in which the rail distance is the only weak component.

The 7.6 for families needs explaining, because few children live here: their share is below the national level and more than a quarter of residents are over 65. The score comes almost entirely from the short school distance, which is the heaviest component of that pillar.

At 3.6, wealth and income is the weakest figure, and that is almost entirely property value: it sits at seventy per cent of the Dutch middle value. The income distribution tilts as well — the top group narrower than nationally, the bottom one broader — though vacancy stays modest. The safety score of 8.3 stands against that, with property offences at a third of the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Siddeburen a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Siddeburen?

In Siddeburen the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Siddeburen calculated?

Siddeburen scores 6.8 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 Siddeburen 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.
