Good for children, with a safety question

A third of the surface of Taanschuurpolder is water, far more than is usual elsewhere in the country, and yet quiet & nature gets no further than a 4.1. The reason sits beside it: greenery within three hundred metres stops at a fifth and the tree canopy is thinner still. Water is not greenery here, and the model counts them separately.

The safety figure of 3.3 comes from two directions. Property crime runs at almost double the national middle, but violence is above it as well, and that weighs more. The familiar picture of an area where only things go missing does not apply.

The wealth & income column is nearly neutral: the income distribution barely differs from the national middle and vacancy is low; what pushes the score down are a property value below the median and a social assistance rate well above it. That is how the 5.1 comes about.

Frequently asked questions

Is Taanschuurpolder a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Taanschuurpolder comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Taanschuurpolder?

In Taanschuurpolder the police recorded 153 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Taanschuurpolder calculated?

Taanschuurpolder scores 3.7 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 Taanschuurpolder 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.
