Safe streets, thinner wallets

Vlodrop is among the safest neighbourhoods in the country — 8.8, with violence at a little over half the national median and burglary, theft and vandalism below it too. At the same time wealth & income stands at 3.5, and those two figures together define the picture of this village.

That wealth figure is broadly carried: property values are far below the national middle, high incomes are thin on the ground, low incomes over-represented, the social assistance rate runs to almost three times the median and vacancy too is higher than nationally. Not one component points the other way here. In practical terms supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre, but the nearest station is eleven away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vlodrop a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vlodrop comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Vlodrop 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 Vlodrop?

In Vlodrop the police recorded 35 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Vlodrop calculated?

Vlodrop scores 5.4 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 Vlodrop 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.
