Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Bikkersvaart is among the country's best-scoring neighbourhoods, and the reason is young. Almost half of households have children, a fifth of residents are under fifteen, and the primary school is three hundred metres away. That is the rare combination in which the families pillar describes both the location and the population.
The weakest spot is the wealth pillar, and the weakness is subtle. Property value is just above the national median, but the top income group is thinner than nationally, the bottom one broader, and the social assistance rate stands at nearly double the national level. Three of the four components therefore point downwards.
Among the offences, burglary is the striking figure: a fraction of the national median. Violence and property crime stay below it too; only vandalism edges above.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bikkersvaart a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bikkersvaart comes out at 19 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 Bikkersvaart?
In Bikkersvaart the police recorded 72 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Bikkersvaart calculated?
Bikkersvaart scores 9.6 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 Bikkersvaart 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.
