Safe, but everything is a drive away

Almost everything in Ittersumerbroek points the same way: violence, burglary and theft stay well below the national middle and produce an 8.9 for safety. One category falls outside that. Vandalism here is more than twice as high as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and that is the kind of report residents see daily — a broken window, a scratched car — while the overall score barely moves.

The second tension sits in the wealth & income pillar, which stalls at 6.1. Property values and incomes point upwards: more households have a high income than nationally, and vacancy is almost nil. But the rate of social assistance is more than double the Dutch middle. This is not a neighbourhood that is wealthy or poor, but one where both exist side by side.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ittersumerbroek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Ittersumerbroek comes out at 18 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 Ittersumerbroek?

In Ittersumerbroek the police recorded 45 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Ittersumerbroek calculated?

Ittersumerbroek scores 8.4 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 Ittersumerbroek 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.
