Bottom 36% in the Netherlands

Everything for children close by, and little room

The total offence figure for Boschweg Noordoost is below the national median, but that average hides the breakdown: violence, burglary and vandalism all sit above it, and only property crime stays far below — at roughly half the national level. The low total is the work of one category, then, not of a neighbourhood that is quiet on every front.

The second tension is in the distances. The supermarket is a few hundred metres away, but the GP more than a kilometre and the railway station more than ten; that pushes the amenities pillar down to 6.7. And the wealth & income pillar lags because of the share of people on social assistance, more than three times the national figure, while property values sit close to the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Boschweg Noordoost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Boschweg Noordoost comes out at 20 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 Boschweg Noordoost?

In Boschweg Noordoost the police recorded 54 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Boschweg Noordoost calculated?

Boschweg Noordoost 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 Boschweg Noordoost 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.
