Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The tree canopy around Bosschenhoofd is more than twice as dense as that of the average Dutch neighbourhood, and together with above-average greenery that yields a 7.0 for quiet & nature. That it is not higher comes down to noise, which is above the national median here and works against that greenery.
The supermarket is the notable absentee. The GP and a restaurant are half a kilometre away, but for groceries you face nearly three kilometres — and because supermarket distance carries the most weight in the amenities pillar, that keeps the score at a 6.5 while the rest of the proximity is better than that.
The 6.0 for wealth & income rests on a mixed picture. Property values are almost exactly at the national median and the top income group is slightly broader than nationally, but the social assistance rate is above the middle. Neither rich nor poor, and outspoken on neither count.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bosschenhoofd a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bosschenhoofd comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Bosschenhoofd?
In Bosschenhoofd the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Bosschenhoofd calculated?
Bosschenhoofd scores 8.0 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 Bosschenhoofd 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.
