Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The tree canopy in Winschoten-Bomenbuurt is nearly double the national figure, and that is the most visible reason the quiet & nature pillar reaches 6.8 here — noise levels stay below the median as well.

The figures pointing the other way sit in the wealth & income pillar, which stands at 2.9. Property values are roughly half the national median and the share of people on social assistance runs almost eight times above it; the income distribution moves the same way. Total recorded offences are below the national middle, but that average hides something: burglary is more than three times above it, while property crime stays clearly below. That is an unusual combination, because those two normally move together.

Frequently asked questions

Is Winschoten-Bomenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Winschoten-Bomenbuurt comes out at 21 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 Winschoten-Bomenbuurt?

In Winschoten-Bomenbuurt the police recorded 50 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Winschoten-Bomenbuurt calculated?

Winschoten-Bomenbuurt scores 4.8 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 Winschoten-Bomenbuurt 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.
