Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children

Zuidlaren reaches an 8.8 for quiet & nature with a noise level more than four decibels below the national median and a tree canopy nearly three times the national share. That is the side of the area everyone sees.

The other side is the families score of 4.8, the lowest of the five. Distance is not the cause — the primary school is seven hundred metres away — but the age structure is: a third of residents are 65 or older. Anyone moving here with young children will find the amenities in order and their children's peers more thinly spread. The 6.9 for safety looks modest for a village where no type of offence rises above the national median. That comes from violence, which sits exactly on it and carries almost a third of the pillar; burglary and property crime are clearly below.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zuidlaren a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zuidlaren 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 Zuidlaren?

In Zuidlaren the police recorded 115 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 Zuidlaren calculated?

Zuidlaren scores 7.5 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 Zuidlaren 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.
