Derde woonwijk

Top 7% in the Netherlands

School close by, shops further off

Almost fifteen kilometres to the nearest station: that is what keeps the Derde woonwijk in Zeewolde at a 5.1 for amenities, while the overall score stands at a 9.5. Supermarket, GP and school are round the corner; it is the train and the restaurant that pull the distance pillar down.

For anyone coming with children that is a favourable trade. The school is half a kilometre away, and school distance is the heaviest component of the families score — so the 9.4 rests first of all on proximity, and only then on the share of households with children, which here is well above the national level.

Violence, burglary and theft all three stay below the median; only vandalism is slightly above it, and that difference amounts to a handful of reported offences per six thousand residents.

Frequently asked questions

Is Derde woonwijk a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Derde woonwijk?

In Derde woonwijk the police recorded 110 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Derde woonwijk calculated?

Derde woonwijk scores 9.5 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 Derde woonwijk 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.
