Safe streets, thinner wallets

A 9.9 for safety is rare and in Ulft-West also uncontested: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four lie well below the national figure, not one type pulls the figure up.

The 5.9 for amenities comes from the other side. Supermarket and GP are a kilometre or more away, and those are precisely the two heaviest components of that pillar; the railway station is kilometres further on. For a neighbourhood with more than five thousand residents that is striking, because the size says little here about what is around the corner.

The wealth pillar sticks at a 3.7 and that is a broad story. Property values stay far below the national median, high incomes are scarce and social assistance use lies far above it. Only the vacancy is modest: virtually nothing stands empty.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ulft-West a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Ulft-West?

In Ulft-West the police recorded 77 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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-West calculated?

Ulft-West scores 7.4 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 Ulft-West 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.
