Safe, but not spacious

Zeeburg is a neighbourhood without outliers, with one exception. The number of recorded offences is around half the Dutch middle, with all four categories below it except burglary, which comes out slightly above. That is where the 8.4 for safety comes from, and it is the figure carrying the overall score.

The wealth & income pillar gives a more mixed picture than the 5.1 suggests. Property value is just below the median, the top income group is thin and the social assistance rate more than three times the national one, while hardly anything stands empty. Anyone expecting an unambiguous verdict on wealth here will not find one.

A quarter of residents are 65 or over and the share of young people is below the national level. That explains the 5.6 for families with a school nine hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zeeburg a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zeeburg comes out at 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zeeburg 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 Zeeburg?

In Zeeburg the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Zeeburg calculated?

Zeeburg scores 6.2 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 Zeeburg 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.
