neighbourhood in Den Haag
Duinzigt
2,660 residents · postal code 2597 · Part of Benoordenhout, Den Haag
Well-off, schools and childcare further off
More than half of Duinzigt's residents are 65 or older, and that shows in the 3.2 for families. The primary school is over one and a half kilometres away, and that distance is the heaviest component of the pillar; the low share of households with children does the rest.
Three of the four offence types here are below the national middle. The exception is burglary, at almost five times the median, and that pulls the safety pillar down to a 5.2. It is a different kind of insecurity from what the score suggests at first glance.
Wealth is high — high property values, no meaningful social assistance, a wide top income group — with one deviation: vacancy is well above the national level.

Frequently asked questions
Is Duinzigt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Duinzigt comes out at 28 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 Duinzigt?
In Duinzigt the police recorded 98 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Duinzigt calculated?
Duinzigt scores 7.5 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 Duinzigt 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.
