Top 5% in the Netherlands

Well-off, and well out of town

Ter Borch ranks among the fifteen wealthiest neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, and that position is justified across every component of the pillar: a property value of more than twice the national median, over half of households in the top income group, few low incomes, no recorded social assistance and virtually no vacancy.

That comes at a price, and it sits in the amenities pillar: a 4.4. The supermarket is more than three kilometres away, the railway station nearly six. This is a neighbourhood where the car is not a convenience but a requirement — for anyone moving here, the most important thing to know. The 7.6 for families comes almost entirely from the residents: seven in ten households have children and well over a quarter of the population is under fifteen, which makes up for the loss on school distance. And the 7.8 for quiet & nature rests on little noise and a lot of water nearby.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ter Borch a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Ter Borch?

In Ter Borch the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (10 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 Ter Borch calculated?

Ter Borch scores 9.7 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 Ter Borch 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.
