Everything close by, little space

Two offences shape Bomenbuurt's safety score: burglary is at four times the national median and theft well above it, while violence and vandalism stay below the national middle. That is a pattern of opportunity, not of threat, and it explains why a 5.3 here does not mean the same as in an area with a lot of violence.

Incomes point the right way: the share of high incomes is well above the national middle and that of low incomes below it. Even so, wealth & income gets no further than a 5.8, and that is down to property values below the national median and a vacancy rate almost double it.

Quiet & nature gets stuck at a 5.2. There is above-average tree canopy, but hardly any greenery around the neighbourhood, a high population density and a lot of noise. Accessibility is the strongest side, at an 8.3.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bomenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bomenbuurt comes out at 28 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 Bomenbuurt?

In Bomenbuurt the police recorded 118 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Bomenbuurt calculated?

Bomenbuurt scores 6.7 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 Bomenbuurt 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.
