Spacious and quiet, without a weak spot
The tree canopy in Putten-Noord covers a multiple of the national level, and together with abundant greenery, little noise and a low population density that produces a 9.1 for quiet and nature. Four of the five components of that pillar come out favourably; only open water is absent.
Property value is well above the national median and the social assistance rate below it, and yet wealth & income stops at a 7.5. That is down to the share of households on a low income, which here sits above the national picture. Expensive homes and a broad lower end go together in this neighbourhood.
The 7.0 for families is the lowest of the five, while the primary school is seven hundred metres away. The explanation lies in the age profile: three in ten residents are over sixty-five and the share of children stays below the national level.

Frequently asked questions
Is Putten-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Putten-Noord comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Putten-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 Putten-Noord?
In Putten-Noord the police recorded 48 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 Putten-Noord calculated?
Putten-Noord scores 9.8 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 Putten-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.
