Everything close by, little space

Property values in Nautena-zuid/Schulpkamp are only just below the national median, and yet the wealth & income pillar gets no higher than 4.1. That is an instructive gap: the score is held down here by incomes and social assistance, not by housing. The share of households with a high income stays well below the national figure and the rate of social assistance runs more than three times above it.

The rest of the profile points the other way. Recorded offences run at about two thirds of the national median, with property crime and vandalism well below, and supermarket, GP and primary school are all within a kilometre. That yields a 9.2 for amenities and an 8.9 for families — a neighbourhood that works well in practice while financial room is thin.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nautena-zuid/Schulpkamp a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Nautena-zuid/Schulpkamp?

In Nautena-zuid/Schulpkamp the police recorded 43 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Nautena-zuid/Schulpkamp calculated?

Nautena-zuid/Schulpkamp scores 8.0 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 Nautena-zuid/Schulpkamp 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.
