Top 1% in the Netherlands

Well-off, and comfortable across the board

Above the national middle on all five pillars and well above on four of them: that is how Hoornse Hof reaches a 9.9. Wealth & income is the strongest, and what is exceptional about it is that every component points the same way: high property value, many high-income households, few low incomes, hardly any vacancy and not a single recorded social assistance claim.

The number of offences is about half the national middle, with violence at less than a third of that. Only burglary occurs slightly more often than is usual nationally, and that is the one crack in an otherwise closed picture.

The 6.6 for quiet & nature is the weakest score, and that is no reproach: with almost seven thousand residents per square kilometre this is a city neighbourhood, where ambient noise nonetheless stays below the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoornse Hof a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Hoornse Hof?

In Hoornse Hof the police recorded 30 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 Hoornse Hof calculated?

Hoornse Hof 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 Hoornse Hof 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.
