Safe streets, thinner wallets
A 9.4 for safety and a 5.0 for wealth & income: in Het Raan Oost those two lie far apart. On each of the four measured crime types the figures stay below the national median, with property crime at a fraction of it.
The wealth & income pillar is dragged down by a single component. Property value is below the national median and vacancy is in fact low, but the social assistance rate comes out at more than double the median. The share of low incomes is exactly national and the share of high incomes slightly smaller — this is not a poor neighbourhood, but it is one with a group that clearly has a harder time.
What the table does not show is how short the distances are here without the place being urban. Supermarket, GP, restaurant and school are all within a kilometre, while the greenery around is above the national median. That combination brings the amenities pillar to 7.8 without costing space.

Frequently asked questions
Is Het Raan Oost a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Het Raan Oost?
In Het Raan Oost the police recorded 21 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Het Raan Oost calculated?
Het Raan Oost 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 Het Raan Oost 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.
