Everything close by, little space
Three of the five pillars in Scheldestraat e.o. sit around 2.6, and one sits at 9.8. That 9.8 for amenities is real: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within five hundred metres. What the neighbourhood has to offer, it has within walking distance.
The wealth pillar has no soft side. Property value stays far below half the national median, the social assistance rate is many times the national figure and vacancy is three times it. On safety, violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism all four rise above the median, with violence the largest deviation.
The 6.4 for families is the only middling score, and it comes entirely from the distances. Fewer than one in ten residents is under fifteen and six in ten households are single-person; it is the proximity of the school that carries that score, not the age profile.

Frequently asked questions
Is Scheldestraat e.o. a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Scheldestraat e.o. comes out at 53 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Scheldestraat e.o. 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 Scheldestraat e.o.?
In Scheldestraat e.o. the police recorded 206 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (53 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 Scheldestraat e.o. calculated?
Scheldestraat e.o. scores 2.7 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 Scheldestraat e.o. 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.
