Safe, but everything is a drive away
The GP is two kilometres away and the supermarket just over one, and that is where Maasoever's 4.5 for amenities comes from: the two heaviest components of that pillar are the furthest away here.
Against that stands a 9.9 for safety: not one of the four offence types reaches the national median, violence staying at a third of it. And wealth & income reaches 9.4 without a single weak component — high property values, no social assistance, little vacancy, a wide top income group.
Quiet & nature sticks at 5.0, and that is not because of greenery, which is above the national middle. The noise level is almost five decibels above the median; that is what holds the pillar back here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Maasoever a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Maasoever comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Maasoever 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 Maasoever?
In Maasoever the police recorded 35 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Maasoever calculated?
Maasoever scores 9.0 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 Maasoever 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.
