Everything close by, little to spend

All four wealth components in Roermondse Veld point the same way. The social assistance rate is more than eight times the national median, over half of households belong to the lowest income group and the top group is less than half the national size. With a property value far below the middle, the pillar comes out at a 2.6.

Crime here has a profile you do not always find behind such figures: alongside property offences, violence and vandalism also run at more than double the median. This is not a neighbourhood where only bikes disappear.

And yet the amenities pillar scores a 9.6. Supermarket, GP, restaurant and the station are all within a kilometre. The accessibility is among the best in the country; the rest of the report is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is Roermondse Veld a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Roermondse Veld comes out at 57 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Roermondse Veld is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Roermondse Veld?

In Roermondse Veld the police recorded 334 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (57 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 Roermondse Veld calculated?

Roermondse Veld scores 3.1 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 Roermondse Veld 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.
