neighbourhood in Súdwest-Fryslân

Stadsfenne

2,840 residents · postal code 8604 · Part of Sneek, Súdwest-Fryslân

Bottom 40% in the Netherlands

Plenty of space, less prosperity

Well over a third of the residents of Stadsfenne are 65 or older — one of the most heavily ageing populations you will find in an urban neighbourhood. It explains the 4.9 for families without distance having anything to do with it: the primary school is within a kilometre, but hardly any children live there.

The strongest pillar is quiet & nature, at an 8.1. Greenery in the surroundings lies above the Dutch middle, the noise level well below it, and there is more water than average. For a neighbourhood inside the built-up area of Sneek that is a pronounced combination. The wealth & income pillar stays at a 3.7 and that is a broad story: low property value, a wide low-income group, vacancy above the median and social assistance at more than double. Within safety, a 7.1, it is notable that violence stays far below the national median while burglary lies above it — here it is mainly burglary holding the score down.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stadsfenne a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Stadsfenne comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Stadsfenne?

In Stadsfenne the police recorded 67 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Stadsfenne calculated?

Stadsfenne 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 Stadsfenne 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.
