Everything for children close by, and little room

The number of registered offences in Zijdelwaard is only just above the Dutch middle, and yet there stands a 4.4 for safety. That comes from the weighting: violence counts for almost a third of that pillar, and violence here is more than half above the national level. Burglary is slightly above it, theft exactly below and vandalism exactly on it — violence does most of the work.

The 9.3 for families stands firm. Four in ten households have children living in them, there are more young residents than is usual nationally, and the primary school is within walking distance.

What this neighbourhood mainly costs is rail accessibility: the nearest railway station is twelve kilometres away. The supermarket is close by, the GP a bit further, and together they hold the amenities pillar at a 6.6 — a middling figure for a place where daily life is in itself perfectly well arranged.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zijdelwaard a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zijdelwaard comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Zijdelwaard?

In Zijdelwaard the police recorded 262 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Zijdelwaard calculated?

Zijdelwaard scores 5.9 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 Zijdelwaard 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.
