Everything close by, little space

The noise level in Schiemond is below the Dutch median, and still the quiet gets no further than a 3.7. That sits in the other components of that pillar: the neighbourhood is very densely inhabited and the share of greenery around comes out at about a quarter of the national one. Tree canopy is scarcer still there. More than half of the surface consists of water, which counts in this pillar but does not replace the greenery.

With safety one type stands out. Violence occurs there almost twice as often as nationally and is at once the component that weighs heaviest; burglary actually lies below the national middle. That makes the 4.4 for safety a different kind of figure than one driven up by theft. Meanwhile in Schiemond everything is within walking distance, which yields a 9.2 for amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schiemond a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schiemond comes out at 33 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 Schiemond?

In Schiemond the police recorded 303 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Schiemond calculated?

Schiemond scores 6.3 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 Schiemond 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.
