Well-off, but not carefree

Property values in Aerdenhout-Centrum are more than three and a half times the Dutch middle, social assistance does not appear in the statistics and almost half of households belong to the highest income group. A 9.9 for wealth & income that holds on every component is exceptional.

All the more striking, then, is the 5.0 for safety, because the total number of reported offences here sits below the national median. The explanation is in the mix: violence, burglary and vandalism all three sit above the national middle, and only theft stays below. Since violence and burglary together determine almost sixty per cent of that pillar, they drag the score down despite the favourable total — one of the clearest examples of how the number of reports and the safety score can pull apart.

The 9.4 for quiet & nature fits the picture: almost forty per cent tree canopy within three hundred metres, over three quarters greenery and a noise level below the median, at a density of under two thousand residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aerdenhout-Centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Aerdenhout-Centrum comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Aerdenhout-Centrum?

In Aerdenhout-Centrum the police recorded 91 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Aerdenhout-Centrum calculated?

Aerdenhout-Centrum scores 9.9 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 Aerdenhout-Centrum 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.
