Frequently asked questions

How is this list ranked?

On population density, noise level, green surroundings, trees nearby and share of water, each counting equally. Noise, greenery and trees come from RIVM, which maps them nationwide per hectare; CBS does not publish them. Areas with far more businesses than homes are left out — they are quiet because nobody lives there.

Why is Fort Dirksz Admiraal at the top?

Fort Dirksz Admiraal scores a 9.4 on this list, with 510 residents per square kilometre. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Den Helder that has a grade for this measure.

How often are these figures updated?

The figures come from the CBS neighbourhood statistics for 2025. Both are published once a year; the list is recalculated as soon as a new edition appears.
