Everything for children close by, and little room
Two in three households in Driehoek have children, a share that few Dutch neighbourhoods reach, and hardly anyone here is 65 or older. With a primary school seven hundred metres away, the families pillar comes out at a 9.3.
The 2.7 for quiet & nature belongs to a neighbourhood built entirely after 2000. The tree canopy here covers a fraction of the national share; greenery and noise are around the median and density is high.
Wealth & income is in good shape at a 7.8: property value well above the median, a thick top income group and virtually no vacancy. The social assistance rate is the only component pointing the other way.

Frequently asked questions
Is Driehoek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Driehoek comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Driehoek?
In Driehoek the police recorded 57 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 Driehoek calculated?
Driehoek scores 8.2 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 Driehoek 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.
