Everything for children close by, and little room

Seven in ten homes in Burgemeesterswijk were built after 2000. The share of greenery around the neighbourhood stays far below the national median and the tree canopy is thin; noise, by contrast, is below the national median and a good share of the surface is water. So it is the vegetation that explains the 4.1 for quiet & nature, not the noise.

The 9.8 for families is earned on both components of that pillar: the primary school is three hundred metres away and the share of households with children is well above the national level.

What keeps the amenities pillar at 6.3 is the distance to the railway. The nearest station is nearly fourteen kilometres away, and the GP is out of walking distance too.

Frequently asked questions

Is Burgemeesterswijk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Burgemeesterswijk comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Burgemeesterswijk?

In Burgemeesterswijk the police recorded 63 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Burgemeesterswijk calculated?

Burgemeesterswijk 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 Burgemeesterswijk 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.
