Everything for children close by, and little room
Steinvoorde ranks among the country's best-scoring neighbourhoods at 9.7, and that result rests on four of the five pillars. The fifth, quiet & nature, stalls at 3.9 on six thousand residents per square kilometre and a green share below the national middle — noise here is actually calmer than average.
The families pillar comes close to ten and for once it is earned from both directions: the primary school is three hundred metres away and almost half of households have children. There are not many neighbourhoods like that. Wealth & income lags the rest at 6.6, because property value sits just under the national median; the income spread is in fact more favourable than the national one and social assistance only slightly above it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Steinvoorde a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Steinvoorde comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Steinvoorde 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 Steinvoorde?
In Steinvoorde the police recorded 27 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Steinvoorde calculated?
Steinvoorde scores 9.7 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 Steinvoorde 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.
