Bottom 5% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little to spend

Holendrecht-West has no owner-occupied homes and no single-family homes, and its social assistance rate is more than twelve times the Dutch middle value. The 2.6 for wealth and income is thereby the most unambiguous figure on this page: every component points the same way, from property value to income distribution.

The 2.8 for safety is about violence. That runs at three times the national middle here, with property offences at more than twice that level alongside. It is a heavier combination than a high offence total alone, because violence is the weightiest component of the pillar.

Against that stands an 8.2 for families, and that is no flaw. Almost four in ten households have children, the primary school is eight hundred metres away and the station less than one. For anyone growing up here the surroundings are compact and reachable; what the neighbourhood does not deliver is financial security.

Frequently asked questions

Is Holendrecht-West a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Holendrecht-West comes out at 46 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Holendrecht-West 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 Holendrecht-West?

In Holendrecht-West the police recorded 174 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (46 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 Holendrecht-West calculated?

Holendrecht-West scores 2.9 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 Holendrecht-West 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.
