Everything for children close by, and little room

In Badhoevedorp Zuid all four measured offence types are below the national middle — violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism. That is rare, and it is why the safety pillar comes out at 9.0 without any one type carrying the figure.

The weak spot is quiet & nature, at 3.2. Traffic noise is more than six decibels above the national median here and greenery in the immediate surroundings below it; the tree canopy, on the other hand, is slightly denser than average. Of the five components of that pillar, it is mainly the noise that pulls.

This is also a neighbourhood where everything is nearby except the train: supermarket, GP, restaurant and primary school are all four within a kilometre, the station almost six. Anyone who depends on rail for commuting notices that difference daily; anyone who does not is left mainly with the 9.3 for families.

Frequently asked questions

Is Badhoevedorp Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Badhoevedorp Zuid comes out at 19 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Badhoevedorp Zuid?

In Badhoevedorp Zuid the police recorded 23 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Badhoevedorp Zuid calculated?

Badhoevedorp Zuid scores 9.6 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 Badhoevedorp Zuid 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.
