Safe, but not spacious

The railway station is more than twenty kilometres away and there is no restaurant nearby — those are the distances holding the amenities of Nieuw-Beijerland Woonkern at a 5.5, while shop, GP and school are all within seven hundred metres.

Quiet & nature comes to a 5.2, which is on the low side for a place with this building density. The tree canopy is far below the national median, greenery below it and the noise level above it; only the water counts in its favour here. Space around you is not the same as nature around you, and in this figure the two come apart.

Safety is unambiguous: all four offence types are at or below the national median. With children in more than four in ten households and a school around the corner, this is a place for families who do not have to go into the city every day.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nieuw-Beijerland Woonkern a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Nieuw-Beijerland Woonkern?

In Nieuw-Beijerland Woonkern the police recorded 83 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Nieuw-Beijerland Woonkern calculated?

Nieuw-Beijerland Woonkern scores 8.4 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 Nieuw-Beijerland Woonkern 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.
