Everything for children close by, and little room
On the families pillar Bleriotlaan ranks among the top two hundred neighbourhoods in the country. The primary school is four hundred metres away and more than a fifth of residents are under fifteen — the two heaviest components of that pillar point the same way here.
Among the offences it is violence and vandalism, both well above the national median, while property crime stays below it. Reading the 3.7 for safety as a theft problem would be a mistake.
The social assistance rate comes to roughly nine times the national median, and together with a property value far below the median that is the core of the 3.1 for wealth & income. Only vacancy is low. With almost ten thousand residents per square kilometre and little greenery around, the quiet & nature pillar stalls as well.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bleriotlaan a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bleriotlaan comes out at 30 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 Bleriotlaan?
In Bleriotlaan the police recorded 77 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Bleriotlaan calculated?
Bleriotlaan scores 4.7 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 Bleriotlaan 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.
