Everything close by, little to spend

The number of recorded offences in Borne Centrum is well above the national median, and still the safety score is 7.1. That is not an error but a consequence of what the reports are about: property crime here is more than double the national middle, while violence stays below it and burglary at a fraction of it. Those last two weigh heaviest in this model, and the overall count lightest.

The amenities pillar comes close to the maximum, thanks to something few neighbourhoods have: the station is seven hundred metres away, alongside supermarket, GP and restaurant within half a kilometre.

The population is old. More than four in ten residents are 65 or over and half of households are single-person; the share of children is far below the national picture. That explains the weak families pillar despite a school close at hand.

Frequently asked questions

Is Borne Centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Borne Centrum comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.1. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 36 records per 1,000, 1.7 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Borne Centrum?

In Borne Centrum the police recorded 168 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Borne Centrum calculated?

Borne Centrum scores 5.6 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 Borne Centrum 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.
