Everything close by, little space
Sint Willebrord has more than three thousand residents per square kilometre and still gets no further than a 3.7 for quiet. It is not the noise: that sits exactly at the national median value. It is the greenery measurements — the share of greenery in the surroundings stays below the national level, the tree canopy likewise, and there is no surface water. A village therefore need not be green in these figures.
The safety pillar gives a mixed picture that explains the 5.4. Burglary and theft occur here less often than is usual nationally, but violence and vandalism in fact more often — and violence is the component that weighs heaviest. Wealth remains stuck at a 4.0: the property value is below the national middle, earners at the top end are few and the share of low incomes is considerably above the national share.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sint Willebrord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Sint Willebrord 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 Sint Willebrord?
In Sint Willebrord the police recorded 340 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 Sint Willebrord calculated?
Sint Willebrord scores 4.0 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 Sint Willebrord 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.
