Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The primary school in Veldkamp en Borchert is three hundred metres away, the GP closer still, and that is where the 9.1 for families comes from. What stands out is that few children live here and close to a third of residents are 65 or older: that pillar rewards short school distances above all, and an ageing neighbourhood can score on it too.

Behind the 7.3 for safety sits an uneven split. Total reported offences are well below the national middle and theft is rare, but burglary is reported three times as often as nationally. For residents that is the figure that matters, and the composite number does not show it.

The 4.3 for wealth & income is the weakest point and it points one way. Property values lag behind the national median, far more households are on a low income than average and far fewer on a high one, and the rate of social assistance is double the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Veldkamp en Borchert a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Veldkamp en Borchert?

In Veldkamp en Borchert the police recorded 26 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Veldkamp en Borchert calculated?

Veldkamp en Borchert scores 6.8 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 Veldkamp en Borchert 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.
