Well-off, and comfortable across the board

That yields a 9.7, and together with the other pillars an overall score of 9.8.
The tree canopy here is nearly four times as dense as the national one, in a neighbourhood that at more than two thousand residents per square kilometre is decidedly urban. That combination carries the 8.2 for quiet & nature.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hoogkamp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hoogkamp comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Hoogkamp is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Hoogkamp?
In Hoogkamp the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Hoogkamp calculated?
Hoogkamp scores 9.8 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 Hoogkamp 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.
