Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The railway station in Brouwhuis-Oost is eight hundred metres away, and together with shop, doctor and school within a radius of seven hundred metres that produces an 8.0 for amenities. For families it adds up to a 9.1: a short school distance and almost four in ten households with children.

Set against that is wealth & income, at 4.1. Property values are below the national median and three times as many people claim social assistance as is usual; only vacancy stays low. Two components effectively decide this pillar on their own.

On safety the picture is divided: burglary is almost unknown here and theft is far below the national midpoint, but violence is nearly twice as high. That the score still comes out at 6.8 says something about how heavily that one type counts.

Frequently asked questions

Is Brouwhuis-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Brouwhuis-Oost 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 Brouwhuis-Oost?

In Brouwhuis-Oost the police recorded 64 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 Brouwhuis-Oost calculated?

Brouwhuis-Oost scores 7.3 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 Brouwhuis-Oost 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.
