Safe, but few children
Aalsmeerderbrug scores an 8.4 for safety, and that figure is broadly founded: violence, burglary and vandalism are all three below the national middle, property crime exactly on it. No single type stands out.
What the neighbourhood costs is distance. The supermarket is more than two kilometres away, the GP further still, the primary school more than two — and that last point is the main reason for the 3.5 on families, because school and childcare distance form the centre of gravity of that pillar. The fact that a third of households have children changes little.
The wealth & income pillar hangs in the middle at 6.1. Property values are just below the national median, the share of low incomes exactly on it, and social assistance does not occur; only the vacancy rate is higher than usual. Four components that hold each other in balance.

Frequently asked questions
Is Aalsmeerderbrug a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Aalsmeerderbrug comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 8.4. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 28 records per 1,000, 1.1 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Aalsmeerderbrug?
In Aalsmeerderbrug the police recorded 23 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Aalsmeerderbrug calculated?
Aalsmeerderbrug scores 4.3 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 Aalsmeerderbrug 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.
