Safe, but not spacious

Sixty-one decibels of noise exposure is the figure that defines Het Bramelt. That is more than nine above the national middle, and combined with a green share at two thirds of the median it explains the 2.9 for quiet & nature — in a neighbourhood that, at nearly four thousand residents per square kilometre, is not even exceptionally dense.

Set against it is a 9.7 for safety, and that one is real: all four offence types sit below the national median, violence at less than a third of it. This is a quiet neighbourhood on a loud road. The families pillar lags at 4.8, owing to the school being over a kilometre away; with a quarter of residents over 65 and twelve percent under fifteen, the age profile is not that of a school-run neighbourhood either.

Frequently asked questions

Is Het Bramelt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Het Bramelt comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Het Bramelt?

In Het Bramelt the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Het Bramelt calculated?

Het Bramelt scores 5.6 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 Het Bramelt 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.
