Everything for children close by, and little room
Of the five pillars in the Bloemenbuurt, four sit between 7.2 and 9.8; quiet & nature lags at 3.1. Noise levels are well above the national median and open water is entirely absent, and that counts as heavily in that pillar as greenery does. With an overall score of 9.5, it is the only real weakness.
Wealth & income is better than average, though not on every count: property values are above the national middle, high incomes are well represented and low incomes are not, while the social assistance rate comes out above the median. For families what counts most is distance, and the primary school is three hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bloemenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bloemenbuurt comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Bloemenbuurt?
In Bloemenbuurt the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Bloemenbuurt calculated?
Bloemenbuurt scores 9.5 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 Bloemenbuurt 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.
