neighbourhood in Den Haag
Koningsplein e.o.
7,610 residents · postal code 2562 · Part of Regentessekwartier, Den Haag
Everything close by, little space
The property value in Koningsplein e.o. lies above the Dutch middle, and yet wealth sticks at a 5.7. That pillar measures more than what a house is worth: the share of residents on social assistance is more than three times as high as nationally and there is more vacancy than usual. The components therefore point in different directions and the figure averages that out.
The crime picture too is more one-sided than the total suggests. Violence and burglary occur here less often than in the average neighbourhood; what stands out is theft, registered more than one and a half times as often. What kind of theft that is the registration does not say, and there a reader should be careful with conclusions. The weakest point remains quiet, with a 2.9: density is high here, the noise level lies above the national level and greenery around it is considerably lacking.

Frequently asked questions
Is Koningsplein e.o. a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Koningsplein e.o. comes out at 29 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 Koningsplein e.o.?
In Koningsplein e.o. the police recorded 365 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (29 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 Koningsplein e.o. calculated?
Koningsplein e.o. scores 6.5 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 Koningsplein e.o. 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.
