Safe, but everything is a drive away
Hoogeloon shows how differently two kinds of distance play out. The primary school is six hundred metres away, and because school distance is the largest component of the families pillar, that comes out at a 6.9. The supermarket and the GP are a good three kilometres off, and there amenities drop to a 3.0. One neighbourhood, two figures that never touch.
For safety the picture is unambiguously favourable: the number of reported offences is half the national middle and none of the four types stands out above it. Hence the 9.2.
The 6.6 for wealth & income deserves a caveat. Property values are above the national median and pull the figure up, while the rate of social assistance is higher than the national norm. Wealth here sits mainly in what is owned, and not in every household.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hoogeloon a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hoogeloon comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Hoogeloon 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 Hoogeloon?
In Hoogeloon the police recorded 22 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Hoogeloon calculated?
Hoogeloon scores 6.7 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 Hoogeloon 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.
