Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Agnetendal records fewer offences per thousand residents than the country as a whole, and still safety is, together with wealth & income, its lowest score. Violence explains that: it runs nearly twice the national median, while property crime and vandalism stay below it. Violence carries the most weight in this pillar, so a single outlier there drags the whole figure down.
Against that stands an 8.3 for families, resting mainly on the primary school five hundred metres away. It says little about how many children live here — that share is exactly the national average.
The wealth components all point the same way: fewer high incomes than nationally, more low ones, a property value below the median and slightly more social assistance than usual. Not one component lifts the score.

Frequently asked questions
Is Agnetendal a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Agnetendal 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 Agnetendal?
In Agnetendal the police recorded 44 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 Agnetendal calculated?
Agnetendal scores 6.4 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 Agnetendal 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.
