Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Two hundred, three hundred and two hundred metres: that is how close supermarket, GP and primary school are in the Bakemabuurt. It yields a 9.8 for amenities and a 9.9 for families, both in the country's top three hundred. Few neighbourhoods combine the two.

The wealth & income column tells the opposite story. The rate of social assistance is more than eight times the national median, almost half of households have a low income and high incomes are less common than nationally. That vacancy is low and property value not far under the median keeps the pillar at a 4.0 rather than lower.

All four categories of offence sit just above the national middle here, none of them strikingly far. Such an even picture produces a 4.5 in which no category is decisive — unusual for an area with over sixteen thousand residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bakemabuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bakemabuurt comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Bakemabuurt?

In Bakemabuurt the police recorded 114 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Bakemabuurt calculated?

Bakemabuurt scores 8.0 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 Bakemabuurt 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.
