2,715 residents · postal code 4112 · Part of Beusichem, Buren
Safe, and nowhere really weak
Beusichem scores above the national middle on four of the five pillars, and safety is the strongest of them. Only burglary edges above the national median; violence, vandalism and theft all three stay well below it. The violence figure amounts to roughly a quarter of the national level.
The wealth pillar is favourable across the board: property value is above the national median, high incomes are well represented, low incomes under-represented, and both social assistance and vacancy stay below the national figure.
What the neighbourhood does not have is a rail link around the corner — the station is almost six kilometres away, while supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within five hundred metres. For the nearly one quarter of residents over sixty-five, that is the more important side of the story.

Frequently asked questions
Is Beusichem a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Beusichem comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Beusichem is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Beusichem?
In Beusichem the police recorded 39 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Beusichem calculated?
Beusichem scores 9.4 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 Beusichem 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.
