Everything for children close by, and little room

The quiet & nature pillar of Schansen en Dreven stands at 2.5, putting this neighbourhood among the hundred noisiest and most densely built in the Netherlands. Greenery within three hundred metres stays well below the national median, tree canopy further still, open water is absent altogether, and the noise level sits above it. All five components point the same way.

The safety score is more interesting. The total number of reported offences here is below the national middle, and yet the pillar sticks at 5.0. That is because violence and burglary together determine almost six tenths of it, and those two both sit above the median. A favourable total therefore says little about what is actually happening.

The wealth & income pillar is weak across the board: low property values, few households with a high income, and a social assistance rate that is a multiple of the national one.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schansen en Dreven a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schansen en Dreven comes out at 22 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 Schansen en Dreven?

In Schansen en Dreven the police recorded 55 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Schansen en Dreven calculated?

Schansen en Dreven scores 3.5 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 Schansen en Dreven 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.
