Everything close by, little to spend

In Binderen only eight per cent of households fall into the top income group, against roughly a fifth nationally, and the social assistance rate runs at more than three times the median. All four income components point the same way, and together with a property value far below the middle that explains the 3.6 for wealth & income.

Against it stands an 8.4 for amenities: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within seven hundred metres and the station less than two and a half kilometres away. Accessibility here is not a matter of money.

The families pillar also reaches an 8.4, and that figure says little about children. With the primary school five hundred metres away, distance carries the score, while only fourteen per cent of residents are under fifteen.

Frequently asked questions

Is Binderen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Binderen comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Binderen?

In Binderen the police recorded 142 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Binderen calculated?

Binderen scores 6.2 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 Binderen 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.
