Safe streets, thinner wallets

Almost twenty per cent tree canopy, more than twice the national middle, lifts the quiet & nature pillar of Stellendam west to 6.9 even though nearly six thousand people live here per square kilometre. Density and greenery roughly balance each other out.

The wealth & income pillar tells a different story. The property value is far below the national median, the bottom income group is broad and the social assistance rate is almost five times the middle. Only vacancy stays under the median — so those homes are occupied. The 3.4 that follows is the lowest figure in this neighbourhood.

For families things work out well: the primary school is two hundred metres away and that is by far the heaviest component of the pillar. That the railway station is tens of kilometres off does not count there — it does count in the 6.0 for amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stellendam west a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Stellendam west comes out at 19 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 Stellendam west?

In Stellendam west the police recorded 34 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Stellendam west calculated?

Stellendam west scores 6.4 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 Stellendam west 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.
