Everything close by, little space

More than a third of the surface of Hogewey-Zuid is water, seventy times the national middle, and yet the quiet & nature pillar stalls at 3.6. Water counts for a fifth there; the other four components weigh more. Greenery within three hundred metres does not even reach sixty percent of the national level, noise is almost seven decibels above it, and more than ten thousand people live per square kilometre.

The safety pillar is in good shape at 7.8, and that is no fluke: violence, burglary and vandalism all sit below the national median. Only property crime comes out slightly above, and it is the lightest of the four.

Almost a third of residents are over sixty-five. That makes the 7.9 for families less contradictory than it looks: the pillar mainly measures how far school and childcare are, and both daily amenities are within half a kilometre here. The wealth side lags behind, with a social assistance rate many times the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hogewey-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hogewey-Zuid comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Hogewey-Zuid?

In Hogewey-Zuid the police recorded 54 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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-Zuid calculated?

Hogewey-Zuid scores 8.1 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 Hogewey-Zuid 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.
