Everything for children close by, and little room

Fewer offences are registered in the Schilderskwartier than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and still safety stays on a 6.0. The explanation sits in what does occur: violence is almost one and a half times above the median there, and that very component determines almost a third of the pillar. Vandalism and theft occur there less often than usual — so the low total and the middling figure do not contradict each other.

The 4.6 for wealth & income has a clearer cause. The share of top incomes is exactly nationally average there, but the property value stays below the national median and the social assistance level is a good three times the middle. Meanwhile the combination of a primary school round the corner and an ample share of households with children yields a 9.4 for families — the highest figure of this neighbourhood, followed closely by the 9.1 for amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schilderskwartier a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Schilderskwartier 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 Schilderskwartier?

In Schilderskwartier the police recorded 151 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 Schilderskwartier calculated?

Schilderskwartier scores 7.7 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 Schilderskwartier 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.
