Why is Noordbeemster at the top?
Noordbeemster scores a 9.4 on this list, with an average property value of € 691,000. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Purmerend that has a grade for this measure.
How often are these figures updated?
The figures 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.
