Roden

7,320 residents · postal code 9301 · Part of Roden, Noordenveld

Bottom 43% in the Netherlands

Plenty of space, less prosperity

Almost four in ten residents of Roden are 65 or older, and the share of children is correspondingly small. For the families pillar that works out less badly than you would expect, because it mainly measures how far away school and childcare are, and the primary school is close by here.

There is a catch beneath the safety score. The total number of registered offences stays well below the national median, but violence, burglary and vandalism all three rise above it; only theft pulls the sum down. A 6.2 instead of a higher score comes from that.

The weakest point is wealth, with a 3.7. Every component points the same way there: a property value below the national midpoint, a thinly filled top income group, a broad bottom one, and a social assistance rate of more than three times the Dutch level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Roden a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Roden comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Roden 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 Roden?

In Roden the police recorded 149 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 Roden calculated?

Roden scores 5.7 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 Roden 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.
