Safe streets, thinner wallets
Drievliet in Ridderkerk shows how loosely safety and wealth stand in relation to each other. Violence, burglary and theft all three occur there less often than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, only vandalism lies narrowly above, and that yields an 8.7. The wealth score meanwhile is stuck at a 4.3.
That score is made up of a property value below the national median and a share of social assistance recipients that lies more than three times as high as in the country as a whole; the income distribution itself hardly deviates and almost nothing stands empty. What else stands out is the age profile: almost three in ten residents are 65 or older, and at the same time almost four in ten households have children. The GP is one and a half kilometres away, and that depresses the amenities score.

Frequently asked questions
Is Drievliet a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Drievliet comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Drievliet 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 Drievliet?
In Drievliet the police recorded 147 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Drievliet calculated?
Drievliet scores 7.8 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 Drievliet 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.
