Top 7% in the Netherlands

Safe streets, thinner wallets

A 9.9 for safety puts Eelde in the top of the country, and that score does not rest on one favourable outlier: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four stay below the national median, theft even at a third of it.

The overall score of 9.5 is at the same time held back by the wealth pillar, which stays at a 5.7. The incomes explain that only partly, because high and low incomes occur there about as often as in the rest of the country, though the social assistance density lies well above it. Decisive is the property value: the heaviest component of that pillar comes out just below the national level, and that is enough to keep the score mediocre.

For daily shopping Eelde is well served, for train travel not. The station lies kilometres away, and that is where the largest part of the 6.1 for amenities sits.

Frequently asked questions

Is Eelde a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Eelde comes out at 10 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Eelde is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Eelde?

In Eelde the police recorded 80 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (10 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 Eelde calculated?

Eelde scores 9.5 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 Eelde 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.
