Good for children, with a safety question
A 9.0 for families sounds like a neighbourhood full of young parents, but in Zevenkamp the figure says something else. The share of children is below the Dutch level and one in five residents is 65 or older; what pushes the pillar up is the primary school half a kilometre away. Distance simply happens to be the heaviest component in it.
Quiet comes to a 5.5, remarkable for a place with almost eight thousand residents per square kilometre. The noise level sits close to the national median and there is more water than usual; the greenery stays just below it.
Where it goes wrong is wealth, a 3.6. The property value is far below the Dutch middle, social assistance occurs well over six times more often than nationally and the top income group is more thinly represented. The vacancy rate is in fact low.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zevenkamp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zevenkamp comes out at 35 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 Zevenkamp?
In Zevenkamp the police recorded 739 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (35 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 Zevenkamp calculated?
Zevenkamp scores 4.6 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 Zevenkamp 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.
