Well-off, but not spacious

Veerallee combines property values far above the national median with a share of high incomes nearly double the national one. Even so, the 8.8 for wealth & income is only partly a prosperous story: the rate of social assistance here is above the national middle, and that exception belongs in the picture.

The 3.5 for quiet & nature comes almost entirely from one measurement. Noise exposure is ten decibels above the median — the largest deviation of any component in that pillar, since greenery within three hundred metres does fall below it, but less sharply.

More than one in five residents is under fifteen, unusually many for an urban neighbourhood. Together with a primary school within twelve hundred metres, that carries the 8.2 for families.

Frequently asked questions

Is Veerallee a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Veerallee comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Veerallee?

In Veerallee the police recorded 75 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Veerallee calculated?

Veerallee scores 7.0 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 Veerallee 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.
