Bottom 24% in the Netherlands

Well-off, schools and childcare further off

Weustenrade has just over two hundred residents, and that colours almost every figure on this page. Crime counts sit around the national median, but in a neighbourhood this size a single report already produces a sizeable rate per thousand — so read those numbers with restraint.

What is solid is the distance. The supermarket, GP and primary school are all three more than two and a half kilometres away, and that pulls down two pillars: amenities comes out at 4.6 and families at 3.0, in which school distance weighs heaviest.

Against that stands a wealth score of 7.2, carried by high incomes and the absence of social assistance. Only vacancy is above the national middle, which with a handful of homes need not mean much.

Frequently asked questions

Is Weustenrade a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Weustenrade comes out at 24 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Weustenrade?

In Weustenrade the police recorded 4 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Weustenrade calculated?

Weustenrade scores 4.3 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 Weustenrade 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.
