Maarn-Dorp
4,300 residents · postal code 3951 · Part of Maarn, Utrechtse Heuvelrug
Well-off, schools and childcare further off
Everything here is seven hundred metres away: the supermarket, the GP, the school and the railway station. The last of those is exceptional for a place of this size and explains why amenities reach an 8.3 without a large city next door.
The second story is under the trees. Tree canopy in the surroundings is more than four times the national median, and yet quiet & nature in Maarn-Dorp stalls at a 7.6: the noise level is above the median and pushes down a pillar otherwise carried by greenery.
The crime picture is well below the national level, but one type does rise above it: burglary. Violence, property crime and vandalism all stay below. It is the only type dragging the safety figure down here, and also the type a resident can do something about.

Frequently asked questions
Is Maarn-Dorp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Maarn-Dorp comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Maarn-Dorp 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 Maarn-Dorp?
In Maarn-Dorp the police recorded 98 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 Maarn-Dorp calculated?
Maarn-Dorp 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 Maarn-Dorp 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.
