Everything for children close by, and little room

Spoorkamp/De Terrassen was built entirely after 2000 and it shows in the population: under ten per cent are 65 or over, while almost a quarter are under fifteen. Even so, that is not what carries the families score of 7.9, and that is the interesting point here.

Because the primary school is a good two kilometres away — for a pillar in which school and childcare distance together make up nearly two thirds, that is a heavy drag. So the score comes mainly from the side you can see in the table: the high share of households with children. Anyone living here with young children does not walk them to school.

The restaurant and the GP are also some way off, which explains the 6.0 for amenities. Only the supermarket is around the corner. The tree canopy stays far below the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Spoorkamp/De Terrassen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Spoorkamp/De Terrassen comes out at 22 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 Spoorkamp/De Terrassen?

In Spoorkamp/De Terrassen the police recorded 61 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 Spoorkamp/De Terrassen calculated?

Spoorkamp/De Terrassen scores 7.4 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 Spoorkamp/De Terrassen 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.
