Everything for children close by, and little room
Stuivezand records fewer offences per thousand residents than the average Dutch neighbourhood and still scores only a 4.7 for safety. It lies in the type: violence here is more than twice the national level and vandalism above it, while theft stays below the middle. For the total that matters little; for this pillar it is everything.
The quiet & nature pillar stalls at a 4.0 and the reason is greenery: it is well below the national median, even though the tree canopy here is denser than average. Street trees do not lift that pillar as long as open green is missing.
Otherwise this neighbourhood has everything within cycling distance except the train. Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within a kilometre, the station more than ten away — and that is precisely the difference between the 7.5 for amenities and a higher score.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stuivezand a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Stuivezand comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Stuivezand?
In Stuivezand the police recorded 59 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Stuivezand calculated?
Stuivezand scores 5.4 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 Stuivezand 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.
