Bornholm

Bottom 5% in the Netherlands

Plenty of space, less prosperity

The property value in Bornholm is just over forty per cent of the national median and the social assistance rate more than ten times the Dutch average. With almost six in ten households in the lowest income bracket, every component of the wealth & income pillar points the same way; a 2.6 is then no surprise.

On safety the picture differs from many neighbourhoods with a low figure. Theft here is actually below the national median, while violence and vandalism are well above it, precisely the reverse of the city-centre pattern. The families pillar stalls at a 4.2, partly because of distance, since the primary school is more than a kilometre away. Quiet & nature is the strongest figure at a 6.7, with a noise level far below the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bornholm a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bornholm comes out at 26 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 Bornholm?

In Bornholm the police recorded 65 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Bornholm calculated?

Bornholm scores 2.9 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 Bornholm 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.
