Bosselaar
1,820 residents · postal code 4762 · Part of Zevenbergen, Moerdijk
Everything for children close by, and little room
Bosselaar is largely post-2000 — almost three quarters of its homes — and it shows in everything. A fifth of residents are under fifteen, four in ten households have children, and the families pillar comes out at 9.5 as a result.
Wealth & income holds up on every component too: property values are well above the national median, high incomes are strongly represented, low incomes thin, social assistance stays below the national middle and vacancy is minimal. That is rare, because usually one component points the other way. The price sits in the quiet & nature pillar, at 4.8: greenery in the surrounding area is far below the median and there is barely any tree canopy — a young neighbourhood has no mature trees yet.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bosselaar a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bosselaar comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Bosselaar 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 Bosselaar?
In Bosselaar the police recorded 23 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Bosselaar calculated?
Bosselaar scores 9.4 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 Bosselaar 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.
