Everything close by, safety lags

Bagijneweide records nearly three times as many offences per thousand residents as the national middle, and the weight lies with property crime: that comes to more than four times the median. But violence here is likewise around three times the median, so this is not simply a matter of things going missing. Hence a 2.8 for safety.

The amenities pillar stands at the opposite end. Supermarket and restaurant are two hundred metres away, GP and school five hundred — a 9.9, and that is why people live here despite the first figure.

The wealth & income pillar splits in two: the income distribution is more favourable than the national one, but property values are below the median and the rate of social assistance above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bagijneweide a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bagijneweide comes out at 68 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Bagijneweide 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 Bagijneweide?

In Bagijneweide the police recorded 117 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (68 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 Bagijneweide calculated?

Bagijneweide scores 5.5 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 Bagijneweide 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.
