Everything close by, little to spend

Stegeslag has far fewer reported offences than an average Dutch neighbourhood, and yet safety gets stuck at a 5.9. The explanation lies in the mix: violence here is almost twice the national median, and that is by far the heaviest-weighted component of the pillar. A low total does not automatically make an area safe.

Beyond that, this is a place without outliers: no pillar that stands out, no figure that lifts the rest. That makes the 4.6 overall score an honest one — nothing is hidden underneath it.

Distances are the weak point in daily life. The GP and a restaurant are both more than one and a half kilometres away. With a population of which almost a third has passed retirement age, the first of those two matters most.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stegeslag a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Stegeslag?

In Stegeslag the police recorded 52 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Stegeslag calculated?

Stegeslag scores 4.6 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 Stegeslag 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.
