Bottom 4% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, safety lags

The property value in Beisterveldse Broek is about half the national median, the social assistance rate more than eight times the Dutch average, and the share of households in the highest income bracket is minimal. The 2.9 for wealth & income is therefore not the result of one figure but of every component at once.

The same holds for safety. All four recorded types are above the national median, with violence at more than double; the low figure here does not come from theft alone. Where the neighbourhood does score is access: GP, primary school and supermarket are all close by, good for a 7.1 for families, in which the short school distance weighs heaviest.

Frequently asked questions

Is Beisterveldse Broek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Beisterveldse Broek comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Beisterveldse Broek is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Beisterveldse Broek?

In Beisterveldse Broek the police recorded 130 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Beisterveldse Broek calculated?

Beisterveldse Broek scores 2.8 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 Beisterveldse Broek 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.
