Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Vogelenzang-Zuid records fewer offences than the national average and still comes out at a 5.2 for safety. The reason is that what little there is falls in the heaviest category: violence here is about double the national median, while theft stays far below it.

Wealth & income is the real problem at a 3.5. Property values are far below the national median, almost half of households fall in the lowest income group, high incomes are scarce and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the national one. Only vacancy is minimal.

And there is a practical point: the nearest station is over eighteen kilometres away, while GP and primary school are around the corner. Three in ten residents are 65 or over — a population for whom that combination weighs more heavily than the amenities figure suggests.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vogelenzang-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vogelenzang-Zuid comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Vogelenzang-Zuid?

In Vogelenzang-Zuid the police recorded 102 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Vogelenzang-Zuid calculated?

Vogelenzang-Zuid scores 4.1 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 Vogelenzang-Zuid 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.
