Bottom 44% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

Everything is around the corner in the Bloemenbuurt — supermarket, GP, restaurant, station — and that yields a 9.4 for amenities. Even so the neighbourhood gets no further than a 5.8 overall, and the reason sits in residents' wallets. Property values stay below the national middle, the share of high incomes is thin, the share of low incomes thick, and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the Dutch median. Only vacancy is entirely ordinary.

The number of offences lands almost exactly on the national median, but the mix differs: theft sits below the national picture, while violence and vandalism both sit just above it. That is the reverse of a shopping-centre neighbourhood, and it explains why the 5.7 for safety comes out lower than the total number of reports suggests — violence weighs heaviest in that pillar.

The 3.3 for quiet & nature comes from the greenery: in the radius around the built-up area it is well under half of what an average Dutch neighbourhood has.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bloemenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bloemenbuurt comes out at 24 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 Bloemenbuurt?

In Bloemenbuurt the police recorded 83 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 5.8 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 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.
