Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Dokkum Fugellan scores a 9.3 for families and a 5.4 for amenities, and the difference lies in what is measured: the primary school is four hundred metres away, but the GP nearly three kilometres. Education is therefore far more accessible here than healthcare.

The wealth & income pillar arrives at a 2.8, and that is not a mixed picture: the property value is far below the national median, more than half of households are in the lowest income bracket, few in the highest, and the social assistance rate is almost six times the Dutch average. On safety it is violence and vandalism that hold the figure at a 4.1; theft here is actually below the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dokkum Fugellan a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Dokkum Fugellan comes out at 25 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 Dokkum Fugellan?

In Dokkum Fugellan the police recorded 67 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Dokkum Fugellan calculated?

Dokkum Fugellan scores 4.0 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 Dokkum Fugellan 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.
