Everything close by, little to spend
A 9.1 for amenities next to a 3.5 for wealth & income: in Bakelgeert-Noord everything is within a kilometre, the station included, while property value stays far below the national median. That combination is common enough around a station area, but rarely this sharp.
The wealth pillar has one component pointing the other way — vacancy is minimal — but the rest all point down: few households in the top income group, almost half in the bottom one, and a social assistance rate many times the national median. The 3.6 for quiet & nature is almost entirely the absence of greenery and water in the immediate surroundings; the noise level is only modestly above the median. Safety, by contrast, stands strong at 8.6.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Bakelgeert-Noord 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 Bakelgeert-Noord?
In Bakelgeert-Noord the police recorded 65 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 Bakelgeert-Noord calculated?
Bakelgeert-Noord 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 Bakelgeert-Noord 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.
