Safe, but few children

In Asch the restaurant is six hundred metres away and the supermarket more than three kilometres. That is the reverse of the order you would expect in a village, and it explains the 4.0 for amenities: the supermarket is the heaviest item in that pillar, and here it is the one furthest off.

The second thing the table does not tell you concerns greenery. More than three quarters of the surroundings count as green here, but the tree canopy covers less than a twentieth of it — under half the national middle. That is the picture of open land: plenty of space, little crown overhead. The 6.8 for quiet & nature falls somewhere between the two.

With around three hundred and twenty residents, every report stands for more than three per thousand, so the 8.4 for safety rests on small numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Is Asch a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Asch 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 Asch?

In Asch the police recorded 3 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 Asch calculated?

Asch scores 6.0 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 Asch 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.
