Safe, but not spacious

Putten-Zuid-West reaches an 8.6 while the wealth & income pillar gets no further than a 4.7. That is unusual, and it shows that a high overall score is no synonym for an expensive neighbourhood: property value is below the national median, the top income group is thin and more than four in ten households are in the bottom one.

What does make the score are safety and families. Violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four below the national median, good for a 9.2. And with the primary school four hundred metres away and almost four in ten households having children at home, the families pillar reaches a 9.1. Quiet & nature is the exception, with less greenery around than is usual nationally.

Frequently asked questions

Is Putten-Zuid-West a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Putten-Zuid-West?

In Putten-Zuid-West the police recorded 47 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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-Zuid-West calculated?

Putten-Zuid-West scores 8.6 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-Zuid-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.
