Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Plan Zuid earns a 9.1 for families because both sides of the pillar work together: the primary school is five hundred metres away and almost four in ten households have children. The GP, by contrast, is a kilometre and a half out, the furthest of the measured facilities — and that counts in another pillar, not this one.

The wealth pillar lags far behind the rest. Property value is below the national median, high incomes are scarce, low incomes well represented and the social assistance rate almost three times the national figure. Only vacancy comes out favourably.

On safety what stands out most is the low burglary figure, a fraction of the national level. Vandalism, on the other hand, is above it. The railway station is a kilometre away, closer than the GP: the railway is easier to reach here than care is.

Frequently asked questions

Is Plan Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Plan Zuid comes out at 24 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Plan Zuid?

In Plan Zuid the police recorded 75 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Plan Zuid calculated?

Plan Zuid scores 7.2 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 Plan Zuid 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.
