Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The wealth & income pillar in Winschoten-Noord is weak on almost every component: property values are far below the national median, the share of high incomes too, the share of low incomes above it, and the social assistance rate is more than four times the national middle. Only vacancy stays below the median. That is how the 3.5 comes about.

That the neighbourhood also reaches an 8.2 for quiet & nature comes from something else entirely. Greenery sits on the national middle, but there is notably plenty of tree canopy and water, and noise stays low. Living somewhere sheltered and living somewhere expensive are two separate things here.

Amenities lag on distance, not on supply: the GP and a restaurant are both more than a kilometre away. For anyone without a car, that is a daily detour.

Frequently asked questions

Is Winschoten-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Winschoten-Noord 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 Winschoten-Noord?

In Winschoten-Noord the police recorded 74 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 Winschoten-Noord calculated?

Winschoten-Noord scores 6.0 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 Winschoten-Noord 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.
