Everything for children close by, and little room
A 3.0 for quiet & nature beside a 9.5 for families: Elskamp shows the two do not exclude one another. Greenery within three hundred metres stays far below the national middle and the sound level lies clearly above it, while GP and primary school are both four hundred metres away. Living close to everything costs here exactly what it costs elsewhere.
The safety pillar reaches a 7.6 with a crime total below the national median, but it holds one exception: vandalism sits above the national middle while violence stays far under it and burglary lands exactly on it.
The wealth & income column holds the least favourable figure, a 4.2. Property value stays below the median, alongside a social assistance rate of more than three times the national level, while vacancy at one per cent is strikingly low — vacancy is the only component here pointing the other way.

Frequently asked questions
Is Elskamp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Elskamp comes out at 20 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 Elskamp?
In Elskamp the police recorded 68 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Elskamp calculated?
Elskamp scores 7.3 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 Elskamp 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.
