Everything close by, except school and childcare

A 9.7 for amenities next to a 4.2 for families: Zaltbommel Binnenstad is a town centre, and the figures say exactly that. Everything is around the corner, but one in five households has children and fewer than a tenth of residents are under fifteen. The primary school is close by; it is the population that keeps the pillar low.

The 5.9 for safety has an unusual shape for a town centre. Property crime here is below the national median, while vandalism runs more than twice above it and violence sits slightly above. So this is not about things disappearing but about damage and incidents. Vacancy is above the Dutch level, and together with a property value below the median that pushes the wealth & income pillar down to a 5.8.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zaltbommel Binnenstad a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zaltbommel Binnenstad 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 Zaltbommel Binnenstad?

In Zaltbommel Binnenstad the police recorded 91 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 Zaltbommel Binnenstad calculated?

Zaltbommel Binnenstad scores 7.2 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 Zaltbommel Binnenstad 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.
