Everything for children close by, and little room

Bomendal is in the national top tier for families: a 9.9, with the primary school four hundred metres away and more households with children than is nationally usual. It is the only score here that gets above a six.

The 5.5 for safety hides two extremes. Burglary barely happens, but vandalism is more than twice the national median and violence clearly stands out too. That is a different picture from the one total reported offences suggest, which sit only just above the national median.

And then the railway: the nearest station is a good twelve kilometres away, while GP, school and restaurant are within a kilometre. That gap keeps the amenities pillar at 6.1 and makes Bomendal a place where daily life is close at hand and commuting by train a detour.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bomendal a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bomendal comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Bomendal?

In Bomendal the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Bomendal calculated?

Bomendal scores 5.2 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 Bomendal 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.
