Everything for children close by, and little room
The Hemellichamenbuurt is that rare neighbourhood whose five pillars all sit between 5.9 and 8.5, with families at the top. That families score comes almost entirely from the primary school four hundred metres away, since the share of children here is simply around the national level — a strong families pillar means short distances above all.
The 5.9 for wealth & income has two sides. Property value and income distribution are just on the favourable side of the national median and vacancy is low, but the social assistance rate is nearly three times above it. In safety, vandalism is the only type exceeding the national median; violence, burglary and theft stay below or on it. For quiet & nature the tree canopy is the strong point and the noise level the weak one.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hemellichamenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hemellichamenbuurt 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 Hemellichamenbuurt?
In Hemellichamenbuurt the police recorded 61 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 Hemellichamenbuurt calculated?
Hemellichamenbuurt scores 7.9 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 Hemellichamenbuurt 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.
