Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Steenbakkersbuurt has the primary school three hundred metres away and the station at two kilometres; those two distances carry the 8.6 for families and much of the 7.1 for amenities. The restaurant and the supermarket are actually further off, which is the reverse of the usual pattern.
At fourteen per cent the tree canopy is well above the national median, which together with an average share of greenery holds the quiet & nature pillar at 7.4 despite a noise level slightly higher than nationally.
The wealth & income pillar comes out at 4.3 and that is almost entirely down to property value: here roughly six tenths of the national median, while the income distribution and the social assistance rate stay close to the national picture.

Frequently asked questions
Is Steenbakkersbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Steenbakkersbuurt comes out at 26 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 Steenbakkersbuurt?
In Steenbakkersbuurt the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Steenbakkersbuurt calculated?
Steenbakkersbuurt scores 7.2 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 Steenbakkersbuurt 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.
