Everything for children close by, and little room
Torenveld scores a 9.2 for families and a 2.8 for quiet & nature, and it is the same location that causes both. The primary school and the supermarket are four hundred metres away; what is missing is greenery and silence. The share of green within three hundred metres stays well below the national median, noise is above it, and there is no surface water.
That is notable for a neighbourhood in Zevenbergen, where you would sooner expect rural surroundings than a place that ranks among the country's weakest on this component.
The crime total stays below the national level, but one type stands out: domestic burglary runs at three times the national median. Violence sits exactly on it. With the station and the GP both over a kilometre away, a car is needed here sooner than the amenities score suggests.

Frequently asked questions
Is Torenveld a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Torenveld 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 Torenveld?
In Torenveld the police recorded 68 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 Torenveld calculated?
Torenveld scores 5.0 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 Torenveld 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.
