Bornsche Maten
4,825 residents · postal code 7623 · Part of Borne, Borne
Safe, but everything is a drive away
With a 9.8 Bornsche Maten is among the best-scoring neighbourhoods in the country, and the only real weakness is the distance to the shops. Supermarket and GP — the two heaviest components of the amenities pillar — are both a good kilometre away here, and a 5.8 is what remains of it.
This is one of the few neighbourhoods where the word young follows directly from the figures: almost a third of residents are younger than fifteen. That the families pillar still stays at a 8.5 is down to those same distances, because the primary school too is not around the corner here.
What lifts the overall score are the other two sides: a 9.4 for safety, where the number of violence registrations is a fraction of the national average, and an equally high score for wealth.

How much crime is there in Bornsche Maten?

The comparison figure above (9 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Bornsche Maten lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
