Everything close by, little to spend
Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat comes out at 3.0 for wealth & income, the lowest of the five pillars here. Property value is far below the national middle, the social assistance rate a multiple above it, the lowest income group is broad and vacancy is the only component sitting just above the national median.
The primary school is four hundred metres away and still the families score stalls at 6.8. That comes from the other part of the pillar: only one in five households has children living in it, and more than a quarter of residents are 65 or older.
One distance is out of step. Supermarket, school, station and restaurant are all close by, but the GP means going two kilometres out — the only component of the amenities pillar working against this place, and the heaviest one after the supermarket.

Frequently asked questions
Is Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat?
In Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat the police recorded 143 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat calculated?
Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat scores 4.9 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 Velp-Zuid ten zuiden van Waterstraat 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.
