Everything close by, safety lags
Elzenpas has no outlier downwards and none upwards, apart from an 8.0 for amenities. The most striking thing is in the crime figures: the total sits almost exactly on the national median, while all four separate types are just above it. Burglary is the clearest, more than twice as high as is usual nationally. So a 4.2 for safety does not come from one problem here but from a slightly raised level across the board.
The wealth picture is divided. Property value is above the national median and the top income group is of normal size, but the rate of social assistance is more than double the national level. This is not a neighbourhood doing badly as a whole, but it is one where the differences between households are large.
For families the distance to the primary school counts heavily, and that one is just over a kilometre away. It is the only amenity that is not close by, since even the station is nine hundred metres off.

Frequently asked questions
Is Elzenpas a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Elzenpas comes out at 25 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 Elzenpas?
In Elzenpas the police recorded 94 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Elzenpas calculated?
Elzenpas scores 5.4 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 Elzenpas 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.
