Safe, but everything is a drive away

Schuytgraaf-Noord achieves a 8.6 for families while the primary school is a kilometre away, and school distance is precisely the heaviest component of that pillar. That the score nevertheless comes out so high is down to the residents: children live in more than half the households and the share of young residents lies considerably above the national median. Here the population carries the score, not the location.

That same location costs points elsewhere. Amenities stays stuck at a 5.0, and that is not a matter of one missing address: supermarket, GP, restaurant and station all lie one and a half to two kilometres away. For anyone without a car that is the daily inconvenience behind an overall score of 9.2.

The offence side is unremarkable in the good sense: on none of the types counted does Schuytgraaf-Noord rise above the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schuytgraaf-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Schuytgraaf-Noord?

In Schuytgraaf-Noord the police recorded 101 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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-Noord calculated?

Schuytgraaf-Noord scores 9.2 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-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.
