Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The Beemdenbuurt has a burglary figure at a fraction of the national median, and burglary is the heaviest component of the safety pillar after violence. Even so, that pillar sticks at 6.9, because violence and vandalism are above it.
On wealth & income the picture is uneven. Vacancy is virtually zero and that helps, but the social assistance rate is four times above the national middle, property value far below it and the top income group is narrow. So there is no mixed picture: one component points with, four against.
The supermarket, GP and primary school are all three within seven hundred metres. That explains both the 7.3 for amenities and the 8.7 for families, although the school counts only in the second.

Frequently asked questions
Is Beemdenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Beemdenbuurt comes out at 21 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 Beemdenbuurt?
In Beemdenbuurt the police recorded 45 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Beemdenbuurt calculated?
Beemdenbuurt scores 6.5 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 Beemdenbuurt 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.
