neighbourhood in Groningen
Bruilweering
55 residents · postal code 9728 · Part of Zuidwest, Groningen
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Fifty-five residents: at numbers like that a single report already stands for almost twenty per thousand, so the 3.7 for safety says as much about arithmetic as about what happens on the street. Comparing that figure with the national middle sets a handful of cases against an average over millions.
The distances, though, are solid. In Bruilweering the supermarket, the primary school and the GP are all kilometres away and the railway station further still; that weighs on the amenities and the families pillar at once.
Against that stands a 7.3 for quiet & nature, with more greenery and more trees nearby than the average Dutch neighbourhood. A wealth score is missing here, so the overall 2.6 rests on four pillars.
- no. 12,862 of 13,075 neighbourhoods with a grade

Frequently asked questions
Is Bruilweering a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bruilweering comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Bruilweering?
In Bruilweering the police recorded 3 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Bruilweering calculated?
Bruilweering scores 2.6 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 Bruilweering 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.
