Bossenburgh - Weyevliet

Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
In Bossenburgh - Weyevliet the offences are about violence and vandalism, not theft. Both are well above the national median, while property crime and burglary stay below it. That is a different kind of insecurity from the vanishing-bicycle picture, and it explains why the safety pillar lands at 3.9.
The 9.5 for families comes from another direction. The primary school is four hundred metres away and the share of children is above the national median — the two heaviest components of that pillar coincide here.
Wealth & income points almost uniformly one way: a property value below half the median, few households on a high income, and social assistance at seven times the national level. Only vacancy is ordinary, and so points nowhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bossenburgh - Weyevliet a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bossenburgh - Weyevliet comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Bossenburgh - Weyevliet is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Bossenburgh - Weyevliet?
In Bossenburgh - Weyevliet the police recorded 98 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Bossenburgh - Weyevliet calculated?
Bossenburgh - Weyevliet scores 4.2 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 Bossenburgh - Weyevliet 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.
