Safe streets, thinner wallets

The wealth & income pillar of Staphorst-Noord comes to a 3.1, and it is weak on every component: property values are far below the national median, the share of low incomes is half again the national level, the share of high incomes less than half, and the rate of social assistance is more than four times the middle.

The quiet & nature pillar drops to a 3.7 for a different reason. Noise exposure here is around nine decibels above the national median — a difference you hear, not one that falls in the margin.

Against that stands an 8.5 for safety, with all four crime types below the national middle. That a neighbourhood with these income figures records so few offences is not a given.

Frequently asked questions

Is Staphorst-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Staphorst-Noord?

In Staphorst-Noord the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Staphorst-Noord calculated?

Staphorst-Noord scores 5.5 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 Staphorst-Noord 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.
