Everything close by, little to spend
Zierikzee binnen de vesten is excellently served for daily life — restaurant, school, supermarket and GP are all within a kilometre — but the railway station is more than twenty kilometres away. Anyone living here without a car lives in a compact core with a wide outer ring around it.
Vacancy is close to twice the national level, and together with a property value far below the middle and a social assistance rate at nearly double the median that gives the 3.9 for wealth & income. The income distribution itself, by contrast, barely differs from the national one.
Vandalism stands out among the offences at almost twice the median, while violence and burglary both stay below it. With a population of which three in ten are 65 or older and almost half of households consist of one person, the 7.2 for families is owed almost entirely to the primary school four hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zierikzee binnen de vesten a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zierikzee binnen de vesten comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.0. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 27 records per 1,000, 1.7 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Zierikzee binnen de vesten?
In Zierikzee binnen de vesten the police recorded 146 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 Zierikzee binnen de vesten calculated?
Zierikzee binnen de vesten scores 6.1 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 Zierikzee binnen de vesten 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.
