Safe, but everything is a drive away

Deil has fewer than half the national number of reported offences, and that holds for each category separately: violence at a third of the median, property crime at just over a third, vandalism at a fraction, burglary just below. Such a broad pattern in a place of more than eighteen hundred residents is not noise, and it carries the 9.4 for safety.

The quiet & nature pillar follows at 8.2, carried by more than seventy per cent greenery within three hundred metres and noise far below the national middle. Amenities are the weakest side at 6.0 — shop, GP and school are around the corner, but the nearest restaurant is more than two kilometres away and the station three. The wealth & income pillar reaches 7.7 with property value well above the median, little social assistance and an income distribution thicker at the top than nationally.

Frequently asked questions

Is Deil a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Deil comes out at 11 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Deil 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 Deil?

In Deil the police recorded 20 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. 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 Deil calculated?

Deil scores 9.6 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 Deil 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.
