Everything close by, little to spend

Park Stokhorst has a tree canopy covering double the national middle and noise almost two decibels below it, and yet the quiet & nature pillar reaches no further than 5.7. The density of more than five thousand residents per square kilometre weighs in, as does greenery, which stays below the Dutch median.

The families pillar reaches 8.8 with a primary school four hundred metres away and a third of households having children, in a neighbourhood where more than a quarter of residents are 65 or older. Proximity weighs more heavily here than the age profile.

Wealth & income is the most mixed. The share of low incomes is below the national median and vacancy well below it, but property values lag behind the Dutch middle and the social assistance rate is nearly three times it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Park Stokhorst a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Park Stokhorst comes out at 27 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 Park Stokhorst?

In Park Stokhorst the police recorded 114 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Park Stokhorst calculated?

Park Stokhorst scores 7.0 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 Park Stokhorst 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.
