Everything for children close by, and nowhere weak
Burglary and property crime in Breukelen Noord occur far below the national level; only violence is marginally above it, and with four thousand residents that is a difference of a few reported offences. So the 8.1 for safety is earned almost across the board.
The wealth & income pillar is the least uniform of the five. The property value is well above the national median, incomes are favourable and vacancy is low, but the social assistance rate is at the same time more than twice the national one. That holds the pillar at 6.5 while families comes out at 9.1, with a school five hundred metres away and almost four in ten households with children.

How much crime is there in Breukelen Noord?

The comparison figure above (16 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Breukelen Noord lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
