Everything close by, safety lags
Voldijn has expensive homes, plenty of greenery and a tree canopy more than twice the national level — and still a 3.8 for safety, the weakest of its five figures. The reason is in the breakdown: violence, burglary, property offences and vandalism all four sit above the Dutch middle value, the property offences most clearly. So no component softens this score.
Wealth and income, at 6.7, is more divided than the property value suggests. That value is well above the national middle and the top income group is broader than elsewhere, but the share of households in the bottom income group comes out exactly on the Dutch level and social assistance runs at more than two and a half times it.
The 6.9 for families comes from the short school distance, not from the age structure: a quarter of residents are over 65.

Frequently asked questions
Is Voldijn a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Voldijn comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Voldijn?
In Voldijn the police recorded 110 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Voldijn calculated?
Voldijn 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 Voldijn 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.
