Everything close by, little to spend

For Frankenland the property value is missing. That is not a detail: it is the heaviest component of the wealth & income pillar, so the 2.6 shown here is built from the remaining ones. They all point the same way. More than half of households are on a low income, social assistance is at a multiple of the national figure, and a fifth of all addresses stand empty.

The population is old. Almost four in ten residents are 65 or over, and the share of single-person households is well above the national picture. Even so, families scores 8.2, because that pillar mainly weighs the distance to school and childcare, and here it is short. Anyone reading that figure as “lots of families live here” is reading it wrong.

The railway station is the only amenity at any distance; shop, GP and restaurant are all within a few hundred metres.

Frequently asked questions

Is Frankenland a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Frankenland comes out at 27 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 Frankenland?

In Frankenland the police recorded 54 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Frankenland calculated?

Frankenland scores 3.8 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 Frankenland 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.
