The Binnenstad neighbourhood: urban, young and busy
The Binnenstad is the historic core of Purmerend, with a very high density of addresses, 2,876 per km², so it feels bustling and lively. The population is young, with many singles and couples: 740 one-person households out of 1,200 total. There are few families with children (150), and the average household size is just 1.5. The area has a high number of reported crimes (383 total), which reflects its city-centre character. One resident sums it up: "It's always lively, but you hear everything from the street." Another says: "Great for going out, but parking is a nightmare." This is a neighbourhood for those who want to be in the thick of it. Read more about the neighbourhood Binnenstad.
