Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Vroomshoop-West registers fewer offences than the average Dutch neighbourhood and is still left with only a 5.4 for safety. That is because that pillar does not look mainly at the total but at violence, and violence in particular is above the national level here, as is vandalism. Theft, the offence that usually pushes up a total figure, occurs little here.

The wealth figure of 3.6 by contrast knows no exceptions. The property value stays well below the national median, the top income group is not even half as large as in the Netherlands as a whole, and the social assistance density is at three times the national level.

Set against those figures is a quiet score that does not come from emptiness: the greenery around it is almost exactly at the Dutch level. It lies in the quiet, with a noise level noticeably below the national median, and in the tree share, which is well above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vroomshoop-West a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vroomshoop-West comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Vroomshoop-West?

In Vroomshoop-West the police recorded 128 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Vroomshoop-West calculated?

Vroomshoop-West scores 7.8 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 Vroomshoop-West 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.
