Everything close by, little space

Everything here is within five hundred metres — supermarket, GP, primary school — and the railway station just over a kilometre off. That earns Hogewey-Midden a 9.5 for amenities and keeps the families pillar at 9.2, even though more than a fifth of residents have passed sixty-five.

The 2.7 for quiet & nature is not the traffic's fault. Noise is only three decibels above the national median, which is modest for a neighbourhood with almost nine thousand residents per square kilometre. It is the other components: barely more than half the national level of greenery within three hundred metres, tree canopy below the middle, and no water.

On safety, the notable thing is that the total offence figure hardly rises above the median, while burglary reaches four times and vandalism twice the national level. Those two carry heavy weight, and that is where the 3.0 comes from. It is not the numbers that make the score but which type they are.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hogewey-Midden a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hogewey-Midden comes out at 30 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Hogewey-Midden?

In Hogewey-Midden the police recorded 72 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Hogewey-Midden calculated?

Hogewey-Midden scores 4.9 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 Hogewey-Midden 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.
