Safe, but not spacious

There is considerably more greenery around Zegveld than around the average Dutch neighbourhood, and yet quiet & nature scores 4.1. That is not an error in the figures but a difference between two measurements: the greenery around it is ample, but the tree canopy over the built-up area is almost absent, a fraction of the national level, and open water is missing.

The wealth figures are strikingly ordinary. The share of households on a high income sits exactly at the national median, the share on a low income a hair above it, the property value just below. Few neighbourhoods sit this close to the median on so many components at once; the 5.3 is a genuine middle score.

Reported violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four below the national median, which produces a 9.7. The railway station is seven kilometres away, but the everyday amenities are round the corner.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zegveld (dorp) a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Zegveld (dorp)?

In Zegveld (dorp) 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 Zegveld (dorp) calculated?

Zegveld (dorp) scores 8.8 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 Zegveld (dorp) 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.
