Everything close by, little space
Everything at five hundred metres: shop, GP, school and restaurant all sit at the same short distance in Burgemeesterswijk, which yields an 8.1 for amenities. The bill arrives in the 2.8 for quiet & nature, and it is steep. Greenery within three hundred metres covers less than half the national norm, the tree canopy is thin and water is absent, in a neighbourhood with one of the highest population densities in this municipality.
The 4.4 for wealth & income turns on the rate of social assistance, more than three times the national level here. Property values and the income distribution differ less, and vacancy lands exactly on the national median.
The crime picture, meanwhile, is calmer than the density suggests: the total is below the national middle and only burglary occurs somewhat more often than average. Hence an 8.0 for safety.

Frequently asked questions
Is Burgemeesterswijk a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Burgemeesterswijk comes out at 18 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 Burgemeesterswijk?
In Burgemeesterswijk the police recorded 36 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Burgemeesterswijk calculated?
Burgemeesterswijk scores 6.1 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 Burgemeesterswijk 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.
