Zuidplas 90

Safe, but not spacious
Zuidplas 90 has one of the lowest offence rates in the country: less than half the national median, with violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four below it, violence at a fraction of it. That is where the 9.9 for safety comes from.
One pillar deviates sharply from the rest. Quiet & nature stays at 3.5, and not because of greenery, which is in fact above the national median. The tree canopy is half what is usual nationally, open water is absent and the noise level is above the median. Greenery around you and trees above your head are two different things in this pillar, and the difference is plain to see here.
The primary school is more than a kilometre away, and that is the main brake on the families score of 7.3.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Zuidplas 90?

The comparison figure above (11 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 Zuidplas 90 calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Zuidplas 90 lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
