Well-off, and well out of town
At a hundred and twenty-six residents per square kilometre, Verspreide huizen in Renswoude is empty enough to earn a 9.3 for quiet & nature — a high share of green space, quiet, and that despite a tree canopy only slightly above the national middle.
The wealth & income pillar reaches the same figure, and here every component points the same way: property value stands a good fifty per cent above the national median, the share of high incomes above it, the share of low incomes and the number of social assistance claims below it. That is a complete picture, not one component lifting the rest.
The price is written in the 4.5 for amenities: the supermarket and the GP are over two kilometres away, the station almost five. And the 5.5 for families comes from that same geography — the primary school is nearly two kilometres off, and school distance is the heaviest component of that pillar. That almost a quarter of residents are under fifteen does not offset it.

For 2025, Verspreide huizen comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Verspreide huizen?
In Verspreide huizen the police recorded 74 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Verspreide huizen calculated?
Verspreide huizen scores 9.0 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 Verspreide huizen 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.
