Stadhoudersplantsoen
2,865 residents · postal code 2517 · Part of Duinoord, Den Haag
Everything close by, little space
Around Stadhoudersplantsoen everything is within walking distance: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all four three hundred metres away or less. That yields a 9.4 for amenities and also explains the 8.8 for families — because that pillar leans mainly on school distance, while few children actually live here.
The 7.2 for wealth and income is not equally strong everywhere. The top income group is almost twice as broad as nationally, social assistance is below the Dutch middle and property value above it, but one in ten addresses is vacant — more than twice as often as in the ordinary Dutch neighbourhood.
The 3.5 for quiet and nature is the price of this location. At this building density the greenery stays far below the national level and traffic noise sits more than seven decibels above it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stadhoudersplantsoen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Stadhoudersplantsoen comes out at 31 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 Stadhoudersplantsoen?
In Stadhoudersplantsoen the police recorded 138 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Stadhoudersplantsoen calculated?
Stadhoudersplantsoen scores 8.6 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 Stadhoudersplantsoen 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.
