neighbourhood in Stein (L.)
Centrum
2,210 residents · postal code 6171 · Part of Stein, Stein (L.)
Everything close by, safety lags
More than a third of the residents of this centre of Stein are 65 or older — one of the most strongly ageing populations you will find in the Netherlands — and with a tenth of residents under fifteen the families pillar comes out at a 5.4, despite a primary school eight hundred metres away.
The 3.1 for safety has not a single favourable component: theft, violence, vandalism and burglary all four lie above the national middle, theft furthest. On wealth & income the picture is just as clear-cut, with low property values, almost half of households in the bottom income group and a social assistance rate several times the middle.
The quiet & nature pillar is the striking figure: a 6.3 while the noise level here is far above the median. That comes from the low built density and a tree canopy well above the national middle — enough to drown out the noise in the score, if not in the street.

Frequently asked questions
Is Centrum a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Centrum comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Centrum is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Centrum?
In Centrum the police recorded 120 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Centrum calculated?
Centrum scores 3.9 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 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.
