Safe, but everything is a drive away
The railway station is almost nineteen kilometres from Maaswijk-Zuidoost. That is unusually far for a neighbourhood with more than five thousand residents per square kilometre, and it is the main reason amenities stay at a 5.0 while supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre.
The wealth & income pillar reaches a 7.1 on incomes rather than on property value, which stays just below the national median. Three in ten households are in the top income group and the social assistance rate is a little over half the national median.
It is quiet here: the noise level sits six decibels below the median. That quiet & nature still stalls at a 5.5 is down to a tree canopy reaching less than forty per cent of the national median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Maaswijk-Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Maaswijk-Zuidoost comes out at 17 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 Maaswijk-Zuidoost?
In Maaswijk-Zuidoost the police recorded 86 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Maaswijk-Zuidoost calculated?
Maaswijk-Zuidoost scores 8.2 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 Maaswijk-Zuidoost 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.
