Everything for children close by, and little room
Wezep-Noord scores a 4.1 for quiet & nature at a population density that is modest by Dutch standards. That is not down to crowding but to the surroundings: the noise level is almost four decibels above the national middle and the tree canopy within three hundred metres is half of what is usual nationally.
The 9.6 for families has everything going for it. The primary school is half a kilometre away, more than four in ten households have children and the share of young residents is above the national picture — distance and composition pull the same way here.
With wealth & income they do not. Property values stay below the national median and the social assistance rate is well above it, while the income distribution stays close to the national picture. A 5.4 in which property value carries the most weight.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wezep-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Wezep-Noord?
In Wezep-Noord the police recorded 53 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 Wezep-Noord calculated?
Wezep-Noord scores 8.1 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 Wezep-Noord 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.
