Everything for children close by, and little room

Half the households in the Groente- en Fruitmarkt have a low income and not even a tenth a high one; on both groups the neighbourhood deviates considerably from the national picture, and the social assistance share lies more than five times above it. The 3.3 for wealth therefore does not come from one component - the whole distribution shifts downwards, the property value included.

With the offences things lie differently from what you would expect in a densely populated Hague neighbourhood. Violence and vandalism are registered more often than nationally, but theft and burglary less often; the safety figure therefore stays close to the middle with a 5.6. What the neighbourhood clearly does cost is quiet: the noise level lies well above the national value and there is far less greenery around it than is usual nationally, which together with the density produces a 3.2.

Frequently asked questions

Is Groente- en Fruitmarkt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Groente- en Fruitmarkt comes out at 34 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 Groente- en Fruitmarkt?

In Groente- en Fruitmarkt the police recorded 416 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Groente- en Fruitmarkt calculated?

Groente- en Fruitmarkt scores 4.8 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 Groente- en Fruitmarkt 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.
