Everything for children close by, and little room
Little violence, plenty of burglary: in Boeimeer the two heaviest types of offence point in opposite directions. The violence figure does not reach a quarter of the national middle, residential burglary comes out at a good threefold. Because burglary counts heavily, the safety pillar sticks at a 6.3, even though the total number of registrations is below the Dutch line.
The wealth pillar is at a 7.7 the strongest side of this Breda neighbourhood, and it leans on more than property value alone: almost a third of households have a high income, a good one and a half times the national share, while the bottom income group is actually smaller than usual. The families score of 8.4 follows on from that, with the primary school and the supermarket both round the corner.

Frequently asked questions
Is Boeimeer a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Boeimeer comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Boeimeer?
In Boeimeer the police recorded 183 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Boeimeer calculated?
Boeimeer scores 8.9 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 Boeimeer 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.
