Everything for children close by, and little room

Fewer than half as many offences are recorded in Bergsche Ackers as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and yet the safety score sticks at 8.3 rather than climbing higher. The reason is burglary: it sits here at more than three times the median and determines over a quarter of the pillar. The other three types are all below it.

The quiet & nature pillar is the weakest of the five, and that is not down to noise — it barely differs from the national middle. Greenery within three hundred metres stays well below the median and the tree canopy covers less than two thirds of the national share.

The station is almost seven kilometres away. That depresses the amenities score, while supermarket, GP and school are all three within seven hundred metres here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bergsche Ackers a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Bergsche Ackers?

In Bergsche Ackers the police recorded 20 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Bergsche Ackers calculated?

Bergsche Ackers scores 9.6 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 Bergsche Ackers 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.
