Well-off, but not spacious

More than half the households in Plantage de Sniep Noord have children and three in ten residents are under fifteen — more than double the national norm. In a neighbourhood built entirely after 2000, that is no coincidence but the age of the homes translating into the age of the people in them.

The wealth & income pillar stands at 9.3 and holds up on almost every component: property values more than one and a half times the national median, twice as many households on a high income, and considerably fewer on a low one. Only the social assistance rate is above the national middle — a single exception in an otherwise consistent picture.

The quiet & nature pillar drops to 2.6, and that is the sharpest contrast here. Greenery within three hundred metres stays at two thirds of the national level, tree canopy below it, there is no water, and noise is almost seven decibels above the median. New building on densely built ground leaves little room to breathe.

Frequently asked questions

Is Plantage de Sniep Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Plantage de Sniep Noord comes out at 29 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Plantage de Sniep Noord?

In Plantage de Sniep Noord the police recorded 62 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (29 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 Plantage de Sniep Noord calculated?

Plantage de Sniep Noord scores 6.2 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 Plantage de Sniep Noord 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.
