Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 9.5 for families next to a 3.5 for wealth & income: in Zonnemaat many children live close to school, in homes worth around two thirds of the national median value.

That wealth figure is almost entirely a housing and income story. The share of higher incomes is far below the national level and the number of social assistance benefits more than three times above it, while vacancy is actually low. What is missing here is not demand for housing but disposable income.

Quiet & nature stays at a 4.5, and noise is not the cause: it sits exactly at the national median. It is the absence of open water and a share of greenery below the middle that push the pillar down, with fairly dense building. Anyone visiting sees a spacious district and reads a low figure; the difference is in what is not in the surroundings.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zonnemaat a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Zonnemaat comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Zonnemaat?

In Zonnemaat the police recorded 100 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Zonnemaat calculated?

Zonnemaat scores 7.9 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 Zonnemaat 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.
