Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Plan Zuid in Rijssen-Holten is among the top five per cent of neighbourhoods in the country and at the same time has a wealth & income score of 3.9. Those two things sit side by side because wealth is only a fifth of the total, and the other four pillars all come out favourably here.
That wealth figure is not uniformly low either. Almost half of households have a low income and the social assistance rate is nearly four times the national middle; property values, too, lag behind the Dutch median — but vacancy, at one per cent, is exceptionally low. Almost nothing stands empty here.
The families pillar reaches 9.9 and that is not a result of the age profile alone. The primary school is four hundred metres away and almost half of households have children; distance and population reinforce each other. Living here buys access and safety in a neighbourhood where money is tight.

Frequently asked questions
Is Plan Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Plan Zuid comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Plan Zuid 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 Plan Zuid?
In Plan Zuid the police recorded 50 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Plan Zuid calculated?
Plan Zuid scores 9.7 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 Plan Zuid 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.
