1,825 residents · postal code 4153 · Part of Beesd, West Betuwe
Safe, but not spacious
Burglary in Beesd West occurs almost four times as often as in an average Dutch neighbourhood, while violence, property crime and vandalism all stay well below the median and the total at two thirds of it. Even so, safety scores 8.2: one raised component does not outweigh three pointing the other way. Anyone moving here would do well to take the lock seriously, without imagining an unsafe neighbourhood behind it.
The quiet & nature pillar is the weak spot at 4.4, and that is density plus the absence of water; greenery and noise sit almost exactly on the national middle. In wealth & income, property value keeps the pillar just above the middle, with an income distribution that barely deviates from it and social assistance at half the national figure.

Frequently asked questions
Is Beesd West a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Beesd West comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Beesd West 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 Beesd West?
In Beesd West the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. 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.
How is the grade for Beesd West calculated?
Beesd West scores 7.9 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 Beesd West 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.
