Safe, but few children

In Vries all four types of reported offence sit below the national median — violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism — and that produces a 9.6 for safety. The burglary figure even comes out at a third of the national one.

The 4.6 for families is the mirror image. The primary school is seven hundred metres away, so distance is not the cause; it lies in who lives here. A third of residents are 65 or older and the share of children is low. That does not make Vries unsuitable for families; it mainly makes it old. The 5.9 for amenities hangs on a single distance. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are within a kilometre; the railway station is more than ten. Anyone who relies on the train notices that daily, anyone who takes the car hardly ever.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vries a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Vries comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Vries 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 Vries?

In Vries the police recorded 79 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Vries calculated?

Vries scores 8.3 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 Vries 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.
