Safe, but few children

Property crime in Bergambacht-Dorp sits well above the national median while violence, burglary and vandalism stay clearly below. That is the profile of a village core with a shopping function: things go missing, but it is not uneasy. The 8.9 for safety reflects this, because violence and burglary together weigh heaviest.

Vacancy stands out at more than twice the national middle, and that is what keeps the wealth & income pillar at 5.6 — property value, incomes and social assistance here sit almost exactly on the Dutch average.

The primary school is six hundred metres away and yet families gets no further than 5.3. So distance is not the issue: nearly a third of residents are 65 or older and the share of children is small. This is a place well equipped for families without housing many of them.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Bergambacht-Dorp comes out at 25 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 Bergambacht-Dorp?

In Bergambacht-Dorp the police recorded 42 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Bergambacht-Dorp calculated?

Bergambacht-Dorp scores 7.9 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 Bergambacht-Dorp 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.
