Everything for children close by, and little room
The sound level in Huttenveld is nine decibels above the national median, and that is by far the heaviest brake on an otherwise strong area. It pushes the quiet & nature pillar down to 4.4 while the overall score ranks among the best three thousand in the country.
Safety reaches 8.0, but that figure hides something. Violence here comes out at a fraction of the national median, while burglary runs at more than twice it and vandalism at over one and a half times. This is about the house and the street rather than the people on it.
No household claims social assistance and almost every home is owner-occupied; together with low vacancy that produces a 7.7 for wealth & income, despite a property value that stays just below the median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Huttenveld a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Huttenveld comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Huttenveld is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Huttenveld?
In Huttenveld the police recorded 32 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Huttenveld calculated?
Huttenveld scores 8.5 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 Huttenveld 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.
