neighbourhood in Veenendaal
Componistenbuurt
2,485 residents · postal code 3906 · Part of West, Veenendaal
School close by, shops further off
Componistenbuurt reaches an overall score of 9.7 without dipping anywhere: the lowest pillar is 6.4 for amenities, and that comes from a supermarket and a restaurant more than a kilometre away while the school and the GP are close by.
The 8.5 for wealth & income stands on four legs at once: the property value is well above the Dutch middle, higher incomes occur more often than nationally, lower incomes less often, and social assistance is rare. That is less ordinary than it sounds, because in most neighbourhoods one of those four pulls the other way. More than four in ten households have children and the primary school is three hundred metres away, which explains the 9.5 for families. Quiet & nature comes out at 7.0, with greenery and tree canopy above the national level.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Componistenbuurt?

The comparison figure above (15 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 Componistenbuurt calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Componistenbuurt lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
