Everything close by, safety lags
Fifty reported offences per thousand residents, more than double the national middle, and unlike many neighbourhoods with such a figure this is not only about belongings. Violence and vandalism both sit well above the median, property crime further still. Only burglary stays below it. That makes the 3.4 for safety the heaviest problem in Panningen-Noord.
The wealth & income pillar points the same way, and no component contradicts it: a low property value, a narrow top income group, a broad bottom one and a social assistance rate more than five times the national middle.
Set against that is accessibility. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are around the corner, which explains the 7.5 for amenities despite a railway station far out of reach. A third of residents are 65 or older; for that group such a short distance counts for more than it does for anyone with a car outside the door.

Frequently asked questions
Is Panningen-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Panningen-Noord comes out at 50 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Panningen-Noord is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Panningen-Noord?
In Panningen-Noord the police recorded 150 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (50 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 Panningen-Noord calculated?
Panningen-Noord scores 3.2 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 Panningen-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.
