Well-off, but not carefree

The property value in Marlot is more than twice the national median and over half of households fall into the highest income group. Even so, wealth & income does not reach a ten, and that is due to vacancy: it is four times the national median, and vacancy counts for more within that pillar than the ownership share.

The safety score of 4.2 stands out in this company, and there is one cause. Residential burglary here is more than seven times the national median, while property crime and vandalism stay below it. After violence, burglary is the heaviest component, and with eight hundred residents a few cases move that figure substantially.

The tree canopy within three hundred metres covers almost four times the national level. That is where the 9.3 for quiet & nature comes from, together with a density exceptionally low for The Hague.

Frequently asked questions

Is Marlot a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Marlot 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 Marlot?

In Marlot the police recorded 34 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 Marlot calculated?

Marlot scores 9.0 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 Marlot 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.
