Everything for children close by, and little room

A 3.9 for quiet in a neighbourhood with fewer than four thousand residents per square kilometre is surprising: crowding is not the problem here. It lies in the other components of that pillar. The share of greenery in the surroundings comes nowhere near what is normal in the Netherlands, nor does the tree canopy, and the noise level lies clearly above it.

Set against that is a 7.3 for amenities, while the nearest railway station is kilometres away. That is possible because the station makes up only a sixth of that pillar; supermarket, GP and restaurant, together the heaviest part, all stand within a kilometre in Stommeer.

The offence figures are ordinary in every respect. The total comes out almost exactly on the national median and none of the types counted deviates noticeably; the 6.0 for safety is therefore exactly what you would expect from a mid-table performer.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stommeer a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Stommeer comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Stommeer?

In Stommeer the police recorded 239 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Stommeer calculated?

Stommeer scores 6.4 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 Stommeer 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.
