Ulft-Noord

Safe streets, thinner wallets
Ulft-Noord scores 7.7 for safety and 4.3 for wealth & income, and that gap of more than three points is the whole story of this neighbourhood. The number of reported offences is clearly below the national median, with violence and theft both on the low side; only burglary sits slightly above it.
The wealth pillar runs the other way, and not on every component. Property values lag behind the national middle and the social assistance rate is more than double it, while vacancy sits exactly on the median and the share of low incomes is nationally ordinary. So it is not that everything here is low at once: house prices and the benefit rate carry that pillar. In practical terms you live close to a GP and a supermarket and far from a train — the nearest station is five kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ulft-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Ulft-Noord comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Ulft-Noord 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 Ulft-Noord?
In Ulft-Noord the police recorded 25 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Ulft-Noord calculated?
Ulft-Noord scores 5.9 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 Ulft-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.
