Good for children, with a safety question

With 3,055 residents per square kilometre, the 4.8 for quiet & nature in Zaltbommel Vergt en omgeving is disappointing, and the crowding is not the reason. The noise level lies almost six decibels above the Dutch average, and a difference like that you hear every day. The greenery measurement in the immediate surroundings also lags behind the national picture.

Behind the 3.0 for safety, all four recorded categories sit above the national level, but not equally far: vandalism and burglary deviate most, theft least. Vandalism consists of registrations from public space, not from behind the front door.

Set against that is an 8.9 for families. The primary school is within half a kilometre, and school distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar — the score says nothing about the number of children in the neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zaltbommel Vergt en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zaltbommel Vergt en omgeving comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Zaltbommel Vergt en omgeving is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Vergt en omgeving?

In Zaltbommel Vergt en omgeving the police recorded 260 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Vergt en omgeving calculated?

Zaltbommel Vergt en omgeving scores 4.8 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 Zaltbommel Vergt en omgeving 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.
