Good for children, with a safety question
The total number of reported offences in Boveneind is below the national median, and still the safety pillar stands at 4.3. The breakdown explains why: violence, burglary and vandalism are all three above the national median, and only property crime — the most numerous type — stays below. That pulls the total down without improving the picture.
Almost a fifth of the surface is water, and that carries a fifth of the quiet & nature pillar. It is what the area owes its 6.4 to, despite more than five thousand residents per square kilometre and greenery below the national share. The 5.1 for wealth & income hangs on a single component. Property value and income distribution barely deviate from the national picture here; the benefit rate is almost three times above it, and that is what pulls the pillar to the middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is Boveneind a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Boveneind comes out at 23 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 Boveneind?
In Boveneind the police recorded 118 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Boveneind calculated?
Boveneind scores 5.7 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 Boveneind 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.
