Tweede woonwijk
4,750 residents · postal code 3892 · Part of Wijk 00, Zeewolde
Plenty of space, less prosperity
A 9.3 for quiet & nature is rare in a residential area, and in Zeewolde it comes from every direction at once: plenty of greenery and tree canopy within three hundred metres, a noise level far below the national median, and a low building density. It is the pillar that lifts the overall score.
The safety pillar deserves a careful reading. The total number of reports is well below the national median, but that comes from burglary and theft; violence and vandalism sit slightly above it. With nearly five thousand residents that is not noise. So the 8.1 is earned on the property side, not on the side of confrontation.
What is missing here is the railway: the nearest station is sixteen kilometres away. For anyone commuting by train that is the deciding factor, and no other amenity figure makes up for it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tweede woonwijk a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Tweede woonwijk comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Tweede woonwijk 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 Tweede woonwijk?
In Tweede woonwijk the police recorded 99 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. 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 Tweede woonwijk calculated?
Tweede woonwijk scores 9.3 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 Tweede 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.
