Everything close by, little space

Berghem-Noord scores above the national median on greenery and still ends up with only a 4.1 for quiet & nature. The explanation lies in the other measurements in that pillar: the noise level is above the median, there is no open water and tree canopy stays below the national level. Greenery alone does not carry this pillar.

In wealth & income there is no outlier at all. Property value is just below the national median, the share of higher incomes slightly under it, the share of lower incomes slightly over it and the number of social assistance benefits almost twice the national level. A 4.8 built from four small shortfalls is something other than a figure resting on one problem — there is no single lever to pull.

For daily life what counts most is that the shop, the GP and a restaurant are all within six hundred metres. The station is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is Berghem-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Berghem-Noord comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Berghem-Noord?

In Berghem-Noord the police recorded 169 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Berghem-Noord calculated?

Berghem-Noord 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 Berghem-Noord 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.
