Safe, but not spacious
Almost no neighbourhood in the Netherlands earns a ten for safety, and Mariadorp-Beezepool earns it fairly: violence, burglary, property offences and criminal damage are all four far below the national median, burglary at a mere fraction of it. The total number of reported offences comes to less than half the national level.
The only figure that lags is the 4.2 for quiet & nature, and that is not down to noise. Greenery within three hundred metres sits exactly on the national median and noise just above it; what depresses the score is the tree canopy, which stays at barely more than half the national level, and the absence of surface water.
On wealth & income the components do not all point the same way. Income distribution and vacancy are favourable, but property value is below the national median, while social assistance comes out above it. More than four in ten households have children.

That is low: Mariadorp-Beezepool 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 Mariadorp-Beezepool?
In Mariadorp-Beezepool the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Mariadorp-Beezepool calculated?
Mariadorp-Beezepool scores 9.5 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 Mariadorp-Beezepool 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.
