Everything close by, little to spend
What sets Hakfort/Huigenbos apart from most neighbourhoods is its social assistance rate: more than thirteen times the national median. That is one of the four components of the wealth & income pillar, and the other three point the same way. The 2.6 that comes out is therefore not the outlier of a single measurement.
The 3.1 for safety does not come from the total number of reported offences alone. Violence carries the most weight in that pillar, and here it is almost four times above the median; property crime is larger in number but counts for less. Burglary is exactly at the national level.
Against that stands a 7.6 for families, and it is backed by who lives here: a third of households have children and the primary school is close by. Together with the 8.3 for amenities, that is the part of the profile that does rise above the national median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hakfort/Huigenbos a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hakfort/Huigenbos comes out at 55 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Hakfort/Huigenbos is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Hakfort/Huigenbos?
In Hakfort/Huigenbos the police recorded 200 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (55 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 Hakfort/Huigenbos calculated?
Hakfort/Huigenbos scores 3.1 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 Hakfort/Huigenbos 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.
