Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
At De Reit every wealth component points the same way, and that happens less often than you might think. Property values are well below the national median, the share of high incomes is half the Dutch middle, almost half of households have a low income, and the social assistance rate is five times the middle. A 3.0 with no mitigating component.
The families pillar stands at right angles to that, at 8.6. The primary school is four hundred metres away and more than three in ten households have children; proximity and prosperity part company completely here.
The crime rate stays below the national median, with burglary at a fraction of the middle. Only violence and vandalism are marginally above it, and that explains why the safety pillar stalls at 6.5 rather than climbing higher.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Reit a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Reit comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Reit?
In De Reit the police recorded 50 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 De Reit calculated?
De Reit scores 5.5 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 De Reit 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.
