Safe, but everything is a drive away

Every home in Buurt 4 in Zeewolde was built this century, and a good four in ten households have children. Anyone expecting a high families score from that is mistaken: it stops at a 5.3. The primary school is a good two kilometres away, and school distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar.

The rest of the figures point upwards. The number of registered offences stays below half the national middle, with every counted type below it, and that yields a 9.6. The wealth pillar comes out at a 7.6, carried by a property value above the Dutch line and a top income group taking up a good quarter of households. The price tag of all that space is in the distances: GP, restaurant and school are all three beyond walking distance.

Frequently asked questions

Is Buurt 4 a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Buurt 4 comes out at 11 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Buurt 4 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 Buurt 4?

In Buurt 4 the police recorded 75 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 Buurt 4 calculated?

Buurt 4 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 Buurt 4 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.
