Everything close by, safety lags

The nearest railway station is almost thirteen kilometres away, and still Steenbergen-Centrum scores an 8.9 for amenities. That is because the supermarket and the GP together weigh more than two and a half times as heavily as the station, and both are a few hundred metres from here.

The 2.9 for safety allows no such nuance. Violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism each sit above the national median, and in a neighbourhood of more than four thousand residents that is not a matter of a handful of reported offences. On top of that, one in three residents is 65 or older, which explains the middling families score even though the primary school is around the corner.

Frequently asked questions

Is Steenbergen-Centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Steenbergen-Centrum comes out at 35 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 Steenbergen-Centrum?

In Steenbergen-Centrum the police recorded 202 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (35 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 Steenbergen-Centrum calculated?

Steenbergen-Centrum scores 3.6 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 Steenbergen-Centrum 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.
