Flagged neighbourhoods have far more businesses than residents: shopping streets, nightlife districts and station areas. Crimes are recorded where they happen, so what happens to visitors counts there too. The grade corrects for that footfall, but stays harder to compare with a residential area.

Why is Birkhoven / Bokkeduinen at the top?
Birkhoven / Bokkeduinen scores a 2.6 on this list, with 82 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Amersfoort that has a grade for this measure.
How often are these figures updated?
The crime figures are from the police for 2025; population, boundaries and the other characteristics come from the CBS neighbourhood statistics for 2025. Both are published once a year; the list is recalculated as soon as a new edition appears.
