Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Reaching a doctor from Panningen-Zuid means travelling nearly three kilometres, while supermarket, restaurant and primary school are within seven hundred metres. That single outlier pushes the amenities pillar down to 6.2, because doctor and supermarket are together its two heaviest components.
The wealth & income pillar is bleaker, at 3.6. The share of high-income households is less than half the national one, almost half are in the lowest group, property values are below the median and the social assistance rate is three times the usual level.
Panningen-Zuid is quiet, with noise levels far below the national median, and yet quiet & nature gets no further than 4.5. There is much less greenery in the immediate surroundings than average, and within that pillar it counts for as much as noise.

Frequently asked questions
Is Panningen-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Panningen-Zuid comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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-Zuid?
In Panningen-Zuid the police recorded 93 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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-Zuid calculated?
Panningen-Zuid scores 3.3 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-Zuid 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.
