Well-off, and well out of town
The primary school in Beemte is two hundred metres away, while the supermarket is three and a half kilometres off and the GP nearly three. That ratio is the exact reverse of what you would expect in a rural area, and it explains a 7.5 for families next to a 3.1 for amenities.
With around 130 residents the per-thousand crime figures are of little use here; all four types sit on or just below the national middle, but that rests on a few cases.
The wealth & income pillar comes to an 8.5 and that is mainly property values, well above the national median. The income distribution itself barely differs from the national picture, and no social assistance is recorded.

Frequently asked questions
Is Beemte a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Beemte comes out at 23 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 Beemte?
In Beemte the police recorded 1 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Beemte calculated?
Beemte scores 6.4 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 Beemte 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.
