Vijverhof
1,820 residents · postal code 5262 · Part of Vught-Zuid, Vught
Safe streets, thinner wallets
Vijverhof scores 9.2 for safety and 4.8 for wealth & income, a combination that does not often occur. The crime rate is a good half of the national middle, with violence, vandalism and property crime all far below it; only burglary comes out slightly above.
The wealth figure, meanwhile, is not one story. Property value sits practically on the Dutch median and vacancy below it, but the share of households in the lowest income group is larger than nationally and the social assistance rate is almost three times the middle. The 6.1 for families fits a distinctly older neighbourhood: a third of residents are over sixty-five, and that weighs more heavily than the school, GP and supermarket that are all six hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vijverhof a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Vijverhof comes out at 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Vijverhof 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 Vijverhof?
In Vijverhof the police recorded 22 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Vijverhof calculated?
Vijverhof scores 8.6 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 Vijverhof 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.
