Everything for children close by, and little room
The railway station is five hundred metres from Baanhoek-West, but the GP almost three kilometres away. That combination is unusual and explains why the amenities pillar gets no higher than 6.1: what matters daily weighs more in that pillar than the railway does.
At 2.6, quiet & nature is the neighbourhood's lowest score, and noise is the main cause — almost eight decibels above the national median — together with tree canopy at less than half the national figure. For families it works the other way: the primary school is more than one and a half kilometres away and drags the score down, but with more than half of households having children the pillar still reaches 8.4.

Frequently asked questions
Is Baanhoek-West a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Baanhoek-West comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Baanhoek-West?
In Baanhoek-West the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Baanhoek-West calculated?
Baanhoek-West scores 7.4 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 Baanhoek-West 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.
