Ackerswoude
3,485 residents · postal code 2641 · Part of Pijnacker, Pijnacker-Nootdorp
Well-off, but not spacious
In Ackerswoude children live in almost three quarters of households and fewer than one in thirty residents is 65 or older. Few Dutch neighbourhoods have an age structure this one-sided, and it is the direct explanation for a wealth & income pillar among the country's hundred and fifty highest: half of households fall into the top income group, the property value is close to double the median, the CBS registers no social assistance and vacancy stays below the national level.
The bill is in two other figures. Greenery within three hundred metres comes to two thirds of the national level and the tree canopy to just over half; everything here was after all built after 2000 and the development is dense.
Accessibility lags too. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, and since school and childcare distance determine almost two thirds of the families pillar, that is exactly why it stops at 7.7 and goes no higher.

How much crime is there in Ackerswoude?
In Ackerswoude the police recorded 26 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (8 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 Ackerswoude calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Ackerswoude lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
