Everything close by, little to spend

In Schoonhoven-Oude Stad almost everything is around the corner: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within four to six hundred metres, good for a 9.2. The railway station is more than thirteen kilometres away, and that the score still comes out this high says how much the daily walking distances weigh in that pillar.

The 4.8 for wealth & income comes from an unexpected direction. The income distribution barely differs from the country's: the share of households on a low income sits exactly on the median, the share on a high income just above it. What depresses the score is the property value, which is also the component that counts heaviest. The families score meanwhile stalls at a 6.8 while the primary school stands five hundred metres away — that is the age profile speaking, with half of all households living alone.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schoonhoven-Oude Stad a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schoonhoven-Oude Stad comes out at 20 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 Schoonhoven-Oude Stad?

In Schoonhoven-Oude Stad the police recorded 113 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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-Oude Stad calculated?

Schoonhoven-Oude Stad scores 7.6 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-Oude Stad 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.
