Everything close by, little to spend
The offence rate in Heikant Zuid-Oost is five times the Dutch median, and with almost two thousand residents that is not noise. Property offences carry the bulk of it: they are of the order of eight times the national middle. Violence is five times as high, while burglary barely rises above the median — so the risk here is outside the home, not inside it.
That explains the 2.7 for safety and most of the overall score of 3.0. The wealth pillar does the rest: property value is a good half of the national median, more than half of households are in the lowest income group and vacancy is above the national middle. Set against that is accessibility — GP, supermarket, school and restaurant are all within five hundred metres — and a population of which more than a third is over sixty-five.

Frequently asked questions
Is Heikant Zuid-Oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Heikant Zuid-Oost comes out at 121 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Heikant Zuid-Oost is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Heikant Zuid-Oost?
In Heikant Zuid-Oost the police recorded 344 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (121 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 Heikant Zuid-Oost calculated?
Heikant Zuid-Oost scores 3.0 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 Heikant Zuid-Oost 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.
