Everything for children close by, and little room
The Staatsliedenkwartier is among the three hundred highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the country, and that rests on four of the five pillars at once: safety, amenities, wealth & income and families are all well above the national middle.
One component is out of step, and it is no small detail. Vacancy here is more than twice the national level, while the property value sits above the middle and the social assistance rate comes to a third of it. That is an unusual combination in a place where not a single home was built after 2000.
The 3.7 for quiet & nature is the counterpart of the accessibility. At this building density, supermarket, GP and restaurant are naturally around the corner, but little greenery remains: both greenery within three hundred metres and open water come out below the national level, while noise is above it. Anyone coming here for the children — four in ten households — buys proximity, not a garden.

How much crime is there in Staatsliedenkwartier?

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 Staatsliedenkwartier calculated?

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