Safe, but not spacious

A 3.1 for quiet & nature is a low figure for a village of this size, and Bruinisse deserves an explanation for it. Greenery close by is well below the national median, tree canopy likewise, there is no water within the neighbourhood boundary and population density is high for a village.

Safety stands better. Three of the four types of offence are below the national median; only vandalism comes slightly above. That is worth the 8.2.

The real constraint is the train. The nearest station is tens of kilometres away, and that pushes the amenities pillar down to a 7.1 even though supermarket, GP and primary school are all within half a kilometre. Without a car this is an awkward address, however short the daily walks may be.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bruinisse a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Bruinisse?

In Bruinisse the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Bruinisse calculated?

Bruinisse scores 6.0 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 Bruinisse 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.
