Everything for children close by, and little room

Almost half of households in Staphorst-Zuid have children and the primary school is four hundred metres away. That produces a families score among the highest in the country, and unlike many places scoring this way, the children genuinely match the short distance here: fewer than a fifth of residents are 65 or over.

The quiet and nature pillar is exactly the reverse. Greenery within three hundred metres comes out well below the national middle and so does the tree canopy, while noise exposure lies above it. A village core is not the same as green surroundings, and this score shows the difference.

The crime figures are low: violence is less than half the national median and property crime a quarter of it. Only burglary rises above. What holds the wealth pillar back is not vacancy, which is practically nil, but social assistance and property value.

Frequently asked questions

Is Staphorst-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Staphorst-Zuid?

In Staphorst-Zuid the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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-Zuid calculated?

Staphorst-Zuid scores 8.0 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 Staphorst-Zuid 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.
