Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Vandalism is the only offence type that really stands out in Zeewolde's Eerste woonwijk: it is more than twice the national median, while violence, burglary and property offences all three stay below it. Because vandalism weighs the least of the four, the safety pillar still comes out at 8.4.
The weakest pillar is wealth & income. The property value stays below the national middle, the highest income group is thinner than nationally and the social assistance rate is more than two and a half times the median. The lowest income group sits exactly at the national level and vacancy below it, so the picture is not unfavourable across the board — but the 4.9 is no accident.
Otherwise this is a place that does reasonably on every front: school, supermarket and GP within walking distance, more tree canopy than nationally, and a noise level below the median. Only the railway station is fifteen kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Eerste woonwijk a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Eerste woonwijk?

The comparison figure above (16 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 Eerste woonwijk calculated?
Eerste woonwijk scores 9.0 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 Eerste 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.
