Everything close by, little space
Sprundel records fewer offences than the national average and is still left with a 4.9 for safety. That is down to the distribution: vandalism here is double the national median and violence well above it, while theft — nationally the largest share — is small here.
The 8.0 for amenities comes from short distances: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within seven hundred metres. The station is not; it is over six kilometres away.
Quiet & nature stays at a 4.3 despite a noise level below the national median. The green cover nearby and the tree canopy are both under it and open water is absent; silence alone is not enough to lift that pillar.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sprundel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Sprundel comes out at 20 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 Sprundel?
In Sprundel the police recorded 100 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Sprundel calculated?
Sprundel scores 4.7 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 Sprundel 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.
