Everything close by, little space

Reported offences in Hoofddorp Bornholm West run well below the national median, and still safety stalls at a 6.1. The reason is burglary: it happens here twice as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and that component carries real weight. Property crime, by contrast, is far below the middle.

Wealth & income, a 5.9, is split. The income distribution is more favourable than the national one and vacancy is minimal, but social assistance runs at more than three times the Dutch middle and property values sit just under the median.

The families pillar reaches an 8.0 with the primary school seven hundred metres away and more than a third of households having children. The railway station is over four kilometres off, and that holds amenities to an 8.0.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Hoofddorp Bornholm West comes out at 18 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 Hoofddorp Bornholm West?

In Hoofddorp Bornholm West the police recorded 89 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Hoofddorp Bornholm West calculated?

Hoofddorp Bornholm West scores 7.5 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 Hoofddorp Bornholm West 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.
