Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Almost half of the households in Bleskensgraaf-Dorp have children, and the primary school is three hundred metres away. Those two together produce a 9.7 for families, a figure few neighbourhoods reach. The GP is the same distance away, which also lifts the amenities pillar to 8.1.

Against that stands a 4.6 for wealth & income, and it is less clear-cut than it looks. The property value stays below the national median and the share of low incomes is slightly above it, but social assistance and vacancy are more or less at the national level. This is about property, not poverty.

The green cover within three hundred metres is well above the median while the tree canopy stays at a fraction of it. That is why the quiet & nature pillar remains at 6.6 despite a sound level below the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bleskensgraaf-Dorp a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Bleskensgraaf-Dorp?

In Bleskensgraaf-Dorp the police recorded 21 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Bleskensgraaf-Dorp calculated?

Bleskensgraaf-Dorp scores 9.3 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 Bleskensgraaf-Dorp 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.
