Everything close by, little to spend
Everything is close by in Winterswijk-Zuidwest — supermarket, GP, railway station and restaurant are each within a kilometre — and still the overall score stops at 7.8. The brake is the wealth & income pillar, which comes out at 3.2. Not one of its components points the other way: property value is well below the national middle, the top income group is thin, the bottom one broad, and the number of social assistance benefits per thousand residents is a multiple of the national figure.
The families score of 9.0 says something other than it seems. It comes from short distances to school, not from a neighbourhood with many children: the share of under-fifteens is exactly average and one in five residents is 65 or older.
The number of reported offences stays below the national middle, but violence does not — it sits just above it, and within safety it carries the most weight.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Winterswijk-Zuidwest comes out at 23 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 Winterswijk-Zuidwest?
In Winterswijk-Zuidwest the police recorded 107 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Winterswijk-Zuidwest calculated?
Winterswijk-Zuidwest scores 7.8 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 Winterswijk-Zuidwest 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.
