neighbourhood in Stein (L.)
Berg
1,930 residents · postal code 6129 · Part of Urmond, Stein (L.)
Plenty of space, less prosperity
Berg has the primary school around the corner but the supermarket two kilometres away, and that is exactly why the families score of 6.4 comes out higher than the amenities score of 4.3: school distance counts in the first pillar, the daily shop in the second.
The wealth pillar lags, and within it the rate of social assistance is the sharpest component: it sits more than two and a half times above the national middle, while the income distribution is closer to it. Property values too stay below the median.
Quiet & nature stands well at 7.6: noise levels are noticeably below the national middle and more than a tenth of the surface is water — the latter unusual at this population density.
- no. 9,640 of 13,075 neighbourhoods with a grade

Frequently asked questions
Is Berg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Berg comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Berg is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Berg?
In Berg the police recorded 35 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 Berg calculated?
Berg scores 4.5 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 Berg 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.
