Everything for children close by, and little room
De Beemd 1 scores 8.8 for families and 4.5 for quiet & nature, and both figures point to the same cause: this is a densely built residential area with everything for children close by. The primary school is five hundred metres away and more than a third of households have children; at the same time building density is far above the national middle, noise is above it and greenery within three hundred metres below it.
On safety, violence is the component that sets the score: it occurs here nearly twice as often as nationally, while burglary, property crime, vandalism and the total all stay below or around the median. Because violence is the heaviest component of that pillar, the score falls to 5.5 without the rest giving cause for it. Wealth & income comes out at 5.7, with property value just above the median and incomes just below.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Beemd 1 a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Beemd 1 comes out at 19 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 De Beemd 1?
In De Beemd 1 the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 De Beemd 1 calculated?
De Beemd 1 scores 6.4 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 De Beemd 1 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.
