Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Crime in Ittersumerlanden has one clear face. The number of reported offences sits well above the Dutch median, but that comes almost entirely from theft — which occurs a good twice as often here as nationally. Violence, by contrast, sits at about half the Dutch median. That is the pattern of a neighbourhood where things disappear, not of a place where you would rather stay indoors at night, and it is exactly why the safety pillar comes out at a 5.4 rather than far lower: violence weighs heaviest.
The wealth & income pillar does point downwards almost across the board. Property values sit well below the Dutch median, high incomes are clearly less common here than nationally and the number of social assistance claims per thousand residents is a multiple of the national level. Only vacancy stays under the middle.
The 8.2 for families comes from short distances: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within six hundred metres.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ittersumerlanden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Ittersumerlanden comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Ittersumerlanden is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Ittersumerlanden?
In Ittersumerlanden the police recorded 178 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Ittersumerlanden calculated?
Ittersumerlanden scores 5.3 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 Ittersumerlanden 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.
