Achter 't Tag
2,835 residents · postal code 8281 · Part of Genemuiden, Zwartewaterland
Safe, but everything is a drive away
Two thirds of households in Achter 't Tag have children and three in ten residents are under fifteen. That is one of the youngest population structures in the Netherlands, and it goes together with a neighbourhood built largely after 2000. The families pillar of 8.0 therefore comes from the residents and from a primary school within a kilometre.
The 9.9 for safety stands on four offence types that each stay far below the national median — the total comes out at just over a third of the Dutch average. Where it grates is accessibility: the railway station is twelve kilometres away and the supermarket too calls for transport, which keeps the amenities pillar at a 4.9. The wealth & income pillar of 7.6 is not strong across the board: property value above the median, no recorded social assistance and virtually no vacancy, but the group of households with a low income is in fact somewhat wider than nationally.

How much crime is there in Achter 't Tag?

The comparison figure above (9 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Achter 't Tag lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
