Everything for children close by, and little room

With a 9.8, the Bloemen- en Bomenkwartier is among the strongest family neighbourhoods in the country, and that comes from the distances: the primary school is three hundred metres away, the supermarket and GP less than half a kilometre further.

That compactness has a downside. The green share within three hundred metres, at just over thirty per cent, is nearly half the national median, and at a density of seven thousand residents per square kilometre that produces a 3.6 for quiet & nature. Anyone moving here trades garden for reach.

The wealth & income pillar stays at a 4.8 and that picture is divided. The top income group is slightly better represented here than nationally and vacancy is low, but the social assistance rate is almost three times the median and property values remain below it.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Bloemen- en Bomenkwartier?

In Bloemen- en Bomenkwartier the police recorded 108 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 Bloemen- en Bomenkwartier calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Bloemen- en Bomenkwartier lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
