Everything close by, little to spend
Fewer than fourteen hundred people live on each square kilometre in Nieuwdorp, and almost sixty per cent of the surroundings is green; that ought to make for a distinctly quiet neighbourhood. Yet the quiet & nature pillar stalls at 6.9, and noise explains it: more than six decibels Lden above the national middle. That is a considerable gap for a place otherwise surrounded by green.
Wealth & income gets no further than 3.2. The property value is a good half of the median, almost half of households fall into the lowest income group and the social assistance rate is nearly three times above the middle. Four components, all four pointing the same way.
The primary school more than a kilometre and a half away is the component keeping the families pillar at 4.5; the GP six hundred metres away does not help there, because it belongs to a different pillar.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nieuwdorp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Nieuwdorp comes out at 23 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 Nieuwdorp?
In Nieuwdorp the police recorded 66 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Nieuwdorp calculated?
Nieuwdorp scores 4.2 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 Nieuwdorp 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.
