Safe, but few children

Peize has the second-highest safety score in the Netherlands. Behind that 10.0 are figures that leave little room: violence at less than a fifth of the national median, burglary at a sixth of it, and a third of the national number of recorded offences in total.

The families pillar stays at a 5.6 while the primary school is eight hundred metres away. So that score comes not from distance but from the population: more than a quarter of residents are 65 or older.

Seven tenths of the surroundings within three hundred metres is green and the noise level sits three decibels below the median, producing an 8.1 for quiet & nature. The station is more than ten kilometres away — that is the price paid in the amenities pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Peize a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Peize comes out at 8 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Peize is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Peize?

In Peize the police recorded 35 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (8 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 Peize calculated?

Peize scores 9.6 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 Peize 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.
