neighbourhood in Dronten
Bloemenbuurt
2,340 residents · postal code 8255 · Part of Swifterbant, Dronten
Safe, but everything is a drive away
Of the four categories of offence counted in the Bloemenbuurt, exactly one sits above the national middle, and that is burglary. Violence, vandalism and theft all stay well below it, and that is where the 9.3 for safety comes from. The practical consequence is narrow and concrete: the risk is at your back door, not on the street after ten.
The 6.9 for wealth & income looks thin next to what else is known about earnings here. Social assistance is rare, vacancy is almost absent, and the top income group is slightly better represented than in the Netherlands as a whole. What holds the figure down is property value, the heaviest component of that pillar and here below the national median. Buying costs less than average, in a neighbourhood where the household budgets are not below average.
The station is almost eight kilometres away. Anyone without a car notices that every working day.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bloemenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bloemenbuurt comes out at 10 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Bloemenbuurt 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 Bloemenbuurt?
In Bloemenbuurt the police recorded 19 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (10 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 Bloemenbuurt calculated?
Bloemenbuurt scores 8.4 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 Bloemenbuurt 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.
