Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Elspeet combines two things that rarely go together: a 9.5 for families and an 8.5 for safety. Almost half of households have children at home, a quarter of residents are under fifteen and the primary school is four hundred metres away, while all four crime types stay below the national median.
Wealth & income is less clear-cut than the overall score of 9.4 suggests. Property value is above the national median and social assistance is rare, but the top income group is thinner than nationally, more than four in ten households are in the bottom one and vacancy is above average. That is a 5.8: property without high incomes. The station is more than nine kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Elspeet a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Elspeet comes out at 11 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Elspeet 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 Elspeet?
In Elspeet the police recorded 38 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Elspeet calculated?
Elspeet scores 9.4 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 Elspeet 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.
