Everything close by, little space

The Fannius Scholtenbuurt is extremely densely built, and here that mostly works in its favour: a 9.9 for amenities, with restaurant, supermarket, GP and school all three hundred metres away or less. The quiet & nature pillar foots the bill at 4.0, because greenery is scarce and the noise level sits well above the national median.

More striking is the safety. At 8.2 this neighbourhood does better than many calmer-looking places: violence, burglary and vandalism all sit below the national median, only theft above it. And on wealth two extremes collide — more than a quarter of households are on a high income, while social assistance runs more than seven times the national rate. Two very different groups live side by side in one postcode.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Fannius Scholtenbuurt comes out at 22 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 Fannius Scholtenbuurt?

In Fannius Scholtenbuurt the police recorded 133 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Fannius Scholtenbuurt calculated?

Fannius Scholtenbuurt scores 8.9 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 Fannius Scholtenbuurt 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.
