Everything close by, safety lags

Property values in Betondorp are above the national median, and yet wealth & income scores a 4.2. That is because the other components all point the other way: higher incomes are less common than nationally, lower ones considerably more, vacancy is more than double the national level, and the social assistance rate a multiple of it. A single strong component does not rescue a pillar.

On amenities an imbalance stands out. The GP and the restaurant are a few hundred metres away, but the supermarket is more than a kilometre off — daily shopping here asks more than turning a street corner. The same distance applies to the primary school, and that explains the 5.0 for families.

Noise is considerably higher than nationally, and that quiet & nature still comes out at a 4.8 is down to the tree canopy and the water, both of which are above the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Betondorp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Betondorp comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Betondorp?

In Betondorp the police recorded 139 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Betondorp calculated?

Betondorp scores 3.8 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 Betondorp 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.
