Safe, but few children
In Steenderen shop, GP and school are all within seven hundred metres, and still the families pillar stalls at a 4.7. That is unusual, because distance to education is its heaviest component. The explanation therefore lies in the other part of the pillar: few children live here, and the share of households with children is lower than such short distances would lead you to expect.
The 5.0 for wealth & income hangs on the rate of social assistance, almost three times the national level here. Property values and incomes differ less and vacancy is low, so this is one heavy signal in an otherwise average picture.
Safety scores an 8.9, and it is solid: reported offences run at half the national middle and only burglary occurs slightly more often than average.

Frequently asked questions
Is Steenderen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Steenderen comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Steenderen is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Steenderen?
In Steenderen the police recorded 21 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 Steenderen calculated?
Steenderen scores 7.0 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 Steenderen 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.
