Zevenhuizen-Zuid
3,660 residents · postal code 2761 · Part of Zevenhuizen wijk 02, Zuidplas
Safe, but not spacious
Zevenhuizen-Zuid is newly built and it shows in almost every figure: property values more than one and a half times the national median, four in ten households on a high income, few low incomes and a social assistance rate a third of the national one. A 9.1 for wealth & income borne out on every component is rarer than it seems.
The 3.7 for quiet & nature needs explaining, because quiet it is — the noise level sits below the national median. What is missing are the trees: the tree canopy within three hundred metres does not even reach a third of the national median, and the green share stays below it too. On top of that the supermarket is more than two kilometres away, in a neighbourhood where more than half of households have children.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zevenhuizen-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Zevenhuizen-Zuid?
In Zevenhuizen-Zuid the police recorded 42 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 Zevenhuizen-Zuid calculated?
Zevenhuizen-Zuid scores 8.8 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 Zevenhuizen-Zuid 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.
