Why is De Bras at the top?
De Bras scores a 9.0 on this list, with 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Den Haag that has a grade for this measure.
How often are these figures updated?
The crime figures are from the police for 2025; population, boundaries and the other characteristics 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.
