Everything close by, little space

Sixty-five decibels: the noise level in Schipluidenbuurt is more than thirteen decibels above the national middle, and that is by far the main reason for a 2.7 on quiet & nature. No open water, little greenery and a high density complete the picture.

The safety pillar, by contrast, holds up at a 7.6. Violence, burglary and vandalism all sit below the median; only property crime is almost twice above it. That the total still comes out slightly above the Dutch middle changes nothing about this — the heaviest-weighted types are mild here.

The population make-up is strikingly one-sided: almost eight in ten households consist of one person, children live in barely one in twenty households and hardly two per cent of residents are 65 or older. With a primary school a kilometre away, the families pillar therefore stays at a 4.7.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schipluidenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schipluidenbuurt comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.6. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 27 records per 1,000, 1.4 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Schipluidenbuurt?

In Schipluidenbuurt the police recorded 76 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Schipluidenbuurt calculated?

Schipluidenbuurt scores 5.7 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 Schipluidenbuurt 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.
