Everything for children close by, and little room
Sander-Banken 2 has no downward outlier, and that is rarer than it sounds: its lowest figure is 5.7 for quiet & nature, its highest 8.3 for families. An overall score of 8.5 comes here not from one strong pillar but from the absence of a weak one.
There is one deviation among the safety figures. Burglary is at more than three times the national median while violence stays at about half of it. With six hundred residents that comes down to a handful of cases a year, so read the gap with due caution.
The wealth & income pillar is less clear-cut than the 6.5 suggests. Property values are just above the national median and vacancy is close to zero, but the number of social assistance benefits per thousand residents is more than twice the Dutch middle.

For 2025, Sander-Banken 2 comes out at 18 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 Sander-Banken 2?

The comparison figure above (18 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Sander-Banken 2 lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
