Well-off, but not spacious

Sion scores an overall 10.0, and here that comes from four pillars peaking at once while the fifth clearly lags behind. Quiet & nature gets a 4.7. That is not a matter of feeling: the noise level is above the national median and the built-up area is dense, while greenery in the surroundings sits exactly on the national median. Anyone moving here trades silence for new build.

The second imbalance is in amenities, a 6.7 and the weakest figure on the strong side. The GP and the primary school are around the corner, but the supermarket and certainly the station are further away — and it is precisely those two that weigh heaviest in this pillar. In practice: everything to do with children is close by, the daily shop and the commute are not.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sion a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Sion comes out at 9 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Sion is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Sion?

In Sion the police recorded 40 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (9 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 Sion calculated?

Sion scores 10.0 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 Sion 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.
