Everything for children close by, and little room

The noise level in Schuytgraaf-Centrum is almost nine decibels above the national median, and that is the component pushing the quiet & nature pillar down to 2.7. On top of that many people live on little ground and the tree canopy is thin; only greenery in the surrounding area stays somewhere near the middle.

The families pillar reaches 9.6 and here both halves hold: the primary school is six hundred metres away and more than four in ten households have children. A quarter of residents are under fifteen, against only a handful of per cent over 65.

On safety, vandalism is well over twice the national median and theft is above it too, while violence stays below. That mixture produces a 7.0 — so it is mainly damage and theft, not what happens on the street at night.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schuytgraaf-Centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schuytgraaf-Centrum comes out at 28 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 7.0. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 28 records per 1,000, 1.5 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 Schuytgraaf-Centrum?

In Schuytgraaf-Centrum the police recorded 127 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 Schuytgraaf-Centrum calculated?

Schuytgraaf-Centrum scores 7.6 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 Schuytgraaf-Centrum 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.
