Safe streets, thinner wallets
Beinum I combines an 8.7 for safety with a 4.2 for wealth & income, and each says something different about the same streets. The safety figure rests on burglary and property crime both lying well below the national median; only vandalism comes slightly above it. The wealth figure is pushed down by a property value far under the Dutch middle and a social assistance rate of almost three times the median, while vacancy is in fact almost absent.
The 5.5 for families is an in-between figure with two different causes: the primary school is within a kilometre, but the share of residents under fifteen stays below the national middle while almost a quarter are 65 or over. What you will not find here is the train: the nearest station is nearly seven kilometres away, a considerable distance for a neighbourhood with this density profile.

Frequently asked questions
Is Beinum I a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Beinum I comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Beinum I 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 Beinum I?
In Beinum I the police recorded 50 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Beinum I calculated?
Beinum I scores 6.5 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 Beinum I 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.
