Everything close by, little space
Noise in Kwintsheul Centrumgebied is below the national median, and yet the score for quiet and nature is a 2.8. The explanation lies in the greenery: within three hundred metres it does not exceed a quarter, roughly half the national level, and the tree canopy is thinner still. Quiet is measured here by what you see, not only by what you hear.
Supermarket, GP and primary school are all three four hundred metres away. That is where both the 8.4 for amenities and much of the 7.9 for families come from; the railway station, seven kilometres out, is the only exception.
The wealth pillar hangs just below the middle. Property value is close to the national median and vacancy is minimal, but the share of high incomes is below it and the social assistance rate well above it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kwintsheul Centrumgebied a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kwintsheul Centrumgebied comes out at 21 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 Kwintsheul Centrumgebied?
In Kwintsheul Centrumgebied the police recorded 73 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Kwintsheul Centrumgebied calculated?
Kwintsheul Centrumgebied scores 6.3 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 Kwintsheul Centrumgebied 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.
