Plenty of space, less prosperity

More than seventy per cent greenery within three hundred metres, a tree canopy at twice the national level and quiet streets: Schinnen scores 9.5 for quiet & nature and at the same time 8.6 for amenities, with a station just over a kilometre away. That combination is unusual, since calm normally costs access.

The 4.8 for families does not come from distance — the primary school is seven hundred metres off — but from who lives there: a third of residents are 65 or over, and the share of children under fifteen is below the national middle. The wealth & income pillar drops to 3.6, with property value well below the median and social assistance at more than four times the national figure; the income distribution, by contrast, deviates only modestly and little stands vacant. The overall score of 7.8 shows how much two strong pillars can make up for.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schinnen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schinnen comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Schinnen?

In Schinnen the police recorded 39 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Schinnen calculated?

Schinnen scores 7.8 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 Schinnen 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.
