Frankhuis
6,455 residents · postal code 8043 · Part of Stadshagen, Zwolle
Safe, but not spacious
Frankhuis achieves a 9.9 for safety, and that is not a rounding: not a single burglary is registered, and violence, theft and vandalism all three lie well below the national middle.
The 5.7 for amenities tells the opposite story. Supermarket and GP are both more than a kilometre away here, and those are the two heaviest components of that pillar; the station is actually close by. The train is easier to reach from here than the daily shopping, and that is an unusual order.
The 4.3 for quiet & nature does not come from noise, which is close to the median, but from the combination of density, little greenery and a thin canopy. The ample share of open water provides only limited counterweight to that.

Frequently asked questions
Is Frankhuis a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Frankhuis comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Frankhuis 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 Frankhuis?
In Frankhuis the police recorded 115 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Frankhuis calculated?
Frankhuis 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 Frankhuis 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.
