Everything close by, little space
Property value in Hondecoeterbuurt runs at more than double the national median and over four in ten households have a high income. Even so, wealth & income gets no higher than a 9.1, and that is down to vacancy: it lies at more than double the national middle here and counts more in this pillar than the share of owner-occupied homes.
The 5.1 for safety is not a street picture but a theft figure. Property crime here comes out at roughly double the national median, while violence and vandalism stay below it. That is the profile of a heavily visited part of the city: things go missing, but the evening on the street is not the problem.
The families score of 9.1 comes almost entirely from closeness, not from residents. The primary school is three hundred metres away, while a quarter of households have children and the share of young residents lies below the national middle. Anyone living here with children has everything within walking distance — but few neighbours in the same position.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hondecoeterbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hondecoeterbuurt comes out at 31 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 Hondecoeterbuurt?
In Hondecoeterbuurt the police recorded 117 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Hondecoeterbuurt calculated?
Hondecoeterbuurt scores 8.8 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 Hondecoeterbuurt 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.
