Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Despite a railway station a good twelve kilometres away, Schoonhoven-Noord earns an 8.5 for amenities: supermarket, primary school and restaurant are all within six hundred metres, and those are the components that weigh heaviest in this pillar.

The 3.7 for wealth & income is another story and points downward across the board: property value far below the national median, few high incomes, almost half of households on a low income and social assistance at nearly four times the national level. Only vacancy stays below it.

Safety comes out at 4.2 while the total number of reported offences barely differs from the national middle. The explanation lies in the split: burglary occurs twice as often as nationally and violence sits well above.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schoonhoven-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schoonhoven-Noord comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Schoonhoven-Noord?

In Schoonhoven-Noord the police recorded 73 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Schoonhoven-Noord calculated?

Schoonhoven-Noord scores 5.4 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 Schoonhoven-Noord 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.
