Everything for children close by, and little room

All four types of registered offence in Schuilenburg-Noord are above the national median, although the total stays only just above the Dutch middle. So no single type explains the 4.6 for safety on its own; it is the sum.

Against that stands a 9.6 for families. The primary school is three hundred metres away, nine per cent of residents are 65 or older and almost one in five is under fifteen: this is a young area. The wealth & income figure of 4.0 tells the other half — the share of social assistance here is more than eight times the national level, alongside a below-median property value. Half the homes were built after 2000 and only one in six is a single-family house. Quiet & nature stays at 4.0 with a noise level more than nine decibels above the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schuilenburg-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schuilenburg-Noord 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 Schuilenburg-Noord?

In Schuilenburg-Noord the police recorded 60 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 Schuilenburg-Noord calculated?

Schuilenburg-Noord scores 5.6 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 Schuilenburg-Noord 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.
