Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

In Stervoorde break-ins happen three times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and vandalism occurs twice as often. That is where the 4.0 for safety sits; violence and theft lie almost exactly on the national value.

More striking still is the 9.4 for families in a neighbourhood where almost three in ten residents are over 65. That pillar mainly measures how far away school and childcare are, and the primary school here is four hundred metres away. Anyone expecting many young families on the strength of that figure will find mainly older people in this Rijswijk neighbourhood. The wealth pillar lags far behind with a 3.3: the property value comes nowhere near the Dutch middle and the social assistance share lies more than six times above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stervoorde a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Stervoorde comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Stervoorde?

In Stervoorde the police recorded 246 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Stervoorde calculated?

Stervoorde 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 Stervoorde 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.
