Safe, but not spacious

Not a single building in Schoenmakershoek predates this century, and it shows in the tree canopy: it covers less than half of what the average Dutch neighbourhood has. Noise is in fact below the median, but quiet & nature gets no further than a 4.0.

Wealth & income, a 7.7, is strong on every component: property values above the national median, more households on a high income than nationally, fewer on a low one, little social assistance and almost no vacancy. That is a closed picture, and an uncommon one.

What stands out is the doctor, nearly two kilometres away. After the supermarket that counts heaviest within the amenities pillar, and it is where the 5.8 comes from — in a neighbourhood where half of all households have children.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schoenmakershoek a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Schoenmakershoek?

In Schoenmakershoek the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Schoenmakershoek calculated?

Schoenmakershoek scores 8.9 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 Schoenmakershoek 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.
