neighbourhood in Breda
Hagebeemd
210 residents · postal code 4823 · Part of Breda noord-west, Breda
Spacious, but safety lags
With just over two hundred residents, Hagebeemd is thinly populated, and that is exactly what the quiet & nature pillar rewards: a 9.6, with noise well below the national median and almost two thirds greenery in the immediate surroundings.
The wealth & income pillar comes to 8.9, carried by a property value far above the national median. The share of high incomes is well above the Dutch middle and there is no social assistance. Only the share of low incomes barely differs from the national figure, so wealth here is mainly what the houses are worth rather than what is earned.
The 3.5 for safety needs a caveat. At this population size every reported offence stands for a large number per thousand residents, and the total amounts to a few dozen records. Too few to hang a structural pattern on.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hagebeemd a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hagebeemd comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Hagebeemd?
In Hagebeemd the police recorded 13 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Hagebeemd calculated?
Hagebeemd scores 6.1 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 Hagebeemd 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.
