Safe, but not spacious

A 10.0 for safety is rare in the Netherlands, and Ronde Boogaard earns it right across the board. Violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four sit below the national middle, burglary practically at zero. At nearly three thousand residents, those are numbers that cannot be put down to chance.

The contrast lies in quiet & nature, which stalls at a 3.3. This neighbourhood is densely built, greenery within three hundred metres sits well below the national middle, surface water is absent and noise is above the median. That is the other side of the 9.6 for amenities: restaurant, GP and station are all close by, and that proximity costs space.

Wealth & income gets no further than a 6.5, and that is mainly down to property value, which sits below the national middle. The income figures point the other way: high incomes are over-represented here, low ones are not and the social assistance rate is less than half the national one.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ronde Boogaard a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Ronde Boogaard?

In Ronde Boogaard the police recorded 38 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Ronde Boogaard calculated?

Ronde Boogaard scores 9.8 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 Ronde Boogaard 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.
