Everything for children close by, and little room
The Bloemenbuurt scores above seven on four pillars and 3.6 on one. That outlier is quiet & nature, and it can be accounted for: under a third of the immediate surroundings is green against more than half nationally, the tree canopy is thin and ambient noise is above the median, in a neighbourhood of almost seven thousand residents per square kilometre.
The wealth & income pillar of 7.5 rests mainly on property value, which is well above the Dutch middle. The income distribution differs only modestly from the country's, and social assistance is even slightly above it — so this is an expensive neighbourhood rather than a rich one.
The railway station almost seven kilometres out is the only real distance; supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre, which brings families to 7.9.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bloemenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bloemenbuurt comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Bloemenbuurt is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Bloemenbuurt?
In Bloemenbuurt the police recorded 37 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Bloemenbuurt calculated?
Bloemenbuurt scores 8.1 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 Bloemenbuurt 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.
