Everything close by, little space

More than a third of the households in Bezuidenhout-Oost are in the highest income group and the lowest group is considerably thinner than nationally. Even so, wealth is stuck at a 6.2. The brake is the property value — the heaviest part of that pillar — which lies just below the Dutch median, plus a vacancy rate that exceeds the national level. Well-earning residents in modestly valued homes.

The 5.7 for safety is almost entirely about theft: property crime lies more than half above the national middle, while burglary stays below it and violence is only just above.

Quiet gets a 3.6, and that is not for want of trees — the tree canopy here lies well above the Dutch level. It is in the density and in almost six decibels of noise above the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bezuidenhout-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bezuidenhout-Oost comes out at 30 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 Bezuidenhout-Oost?

In Bezuidenhout-Oost the police recorded 406 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Bezuidenhout-Oost calculated?

Bezuidenhout-Oost scores 7.8 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 Bezuidenhout-Oost 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.
