Everything for children close by, and little room

The income distribution in Broekvelden-Noord is exactly that of the Netherlands: the share of high incomes and the share of low incomes both sit on the national median. That the wealth & income pillar still sticks at 5.3 therefore comes from elsewhere — from a property value below the national middle and a social assistance rate well above it.

For families this is one of the better-equipped places in the country: station, school, supermarket and GP are all within a kilometre, which yields a 9.7 alongside a 9.6 for amenities. Those two figures largely measure the same proximity, only with different destinations.

The bill is in the quiet & nature pillar. Over seven thousand residents per square kilometre, greenery below the median and few trees produce a 4.1. Moving here means trading outdoor space for accessibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is Broekvelden-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Broekvelden-Noord comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Broekvelden-Noord?

In Broekvelden-Noord the police recorded 36 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Broekvelden-Noord calculated?

Broekvelden-Noord scores 9.2 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 Broekvelden-Noord 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.
