Top 24% in the Netherlands

Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children

Schoorl met Bregtdorp is among the quietest places in the Netherlands at 9.8: the noise level is far below the national median, four fifths of the surrounding area counts as green and the building is sparse. Set against that is a families score of 3.6, the lowest of the five.

That families score comes from both sides of the pillar. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, and distance to schooling and childcare is almost two thirds of the weight. On top of that more than a third of residents are 65 or older and the share of children under fifteen is small.

Among the offences, violence is far below the national middle and theft just below it; the total stays clearly under the median. Daily shopping means going further than average here, and the railway station is ten kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schoorl met Bregtdorp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schoorl met Bregtdorp comes out at 18 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 Schoorl met Bregtdorp?

In Schoorl met Bregtdorp the police recorded 81 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Schoorl met Bregtdorp calculated?

Schoorl met Bregtdorp scores 8.2 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 Schoorl met Bregtdorp 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.
