Everything close by, little space
A 9.2 for amenities next to a 3.1 for quiet & nature: the Bomenbuurt shows what density delivers and what it costs. Shop, GP, school and restaurant all lie within half a kilometre there, and that while the nearest station is almost five kilometres away — daily shopping simply weighs more heavily in that pillar than the train. Against that accessibility stand a very high resident density, a tight share of greenery and a noise level above the Dutch median.
The wealth pillar hides behind the figure of 6.0 a mixed picture. The property value lies practically exactly on the median and top incomes occur amply more often than usual, but social assistance is almost at double and vacancy is more than twice as high as nationally — vacancy you would not expect at this property value.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bomenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bomenbuurt 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 Bomenbuurt?
In Bomenbuurt the police recorded 305 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 Bomenbuurt calculated?
Bomenbuurt scores 7.2 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 Bomenbuurt 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.
