Everything for children close by, and little room
An 8.8 for families next to a 3.1 for quiet & nature: in Sintenbuurt the primary school is five hundred metres away and there is almost nothing green in the immediate surroundings. The greenery does not even reach two thirds of the national middle, and within the quiet pillar that weighs as heavily as noise and density.
The wealth & income pillar is split, and that is worth naming. The share of high-income households is well above the national middle and the share of low incomes below it, but the social assistance rate here is more than twice the Dutch median. This is not a neighbourhood that is unambiguously prosperous or poor; these are two groups side by side.
The total recorded-crime rate is almost exactly on the national median, with violence and burglary clearly below it. What happens here is predominantly property crime.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sintenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Sintenbuurt comes out at 24 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 Sintenbuurt?
In Sintenbuurt the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Sintenbuurt calculated?
Sintenbuurt 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 Sintenbuurt 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.
