Everything close by, little space

Few neighbourhoods in the Netherlands sit as close to their amenities as Schiehart: the GP two hundred metres away, the supermarket three hundred, the station just over a kilometre. That produces the highest possible score on that pillar.

The 5.0 for wealth & income is more misleading than it looks. The share of high incomes is exactly the national figure, the share in the lowest even slightly below it, and vacancy is limited. What drags the pillar down is property value — worth almost four tenths of the weight and clearly below the median here — together with a social assistance rate above the national one.

Something similar applies to safety. The total number of reports barely differs from the national middle, but violence and vandalism both sit above it, and those are the two heaviest components.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schiehart a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schiehart 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 Schiehart?

In Schiehart the police recorded 76 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 Schiehart calculated?

Schiehart scores 6.6 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 Schiehart 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.
