Rond de Energiecentrale
6,810 residents · postal code 2562 · Part of Regentessekwartier, Den Haag
Everything close by, little space
Rond de Energiecentrale achieves a 8.4 for families, and that is not because many children live there; that share in fact lies below the national median. Almost two thirds of that pillar consists of the distance to school and childcare, and the primary school here stands four hundred metres away. It is a score about accessibility, not about the population.
The wealth pillar calls for the same precision. High and low incomes occur there about as often as elsewhere in the Netherlands, so the 4.0 does not come from the income distribution. What lies beneath it is a property value far below the usual level, raised vacancy and a social assistance density a multiple above it.
The quiet score of 2.9 can be captured in a single ratio: less than a quarter of the surroundings is green, against well over half in the average Dutch neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rond de Energiecentrale a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Rond de Energiecentrale comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rond de Energiecentrale is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Rond de Energiecentrale?
In Rond de Energiecentrale the police recorded 449 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Rond de Energiecentrale calculated?
Rond de Energiecentrale scores 3.9 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 Rond de Energiecentrale 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.
