neighbourhood in Den Haag
Uilebomen
4,035 residents · postal code 2511 · Part of Centrum, Den Haag
Everything close by, little space
More than a hundred and fifty reported offences per thousand residents: Uilebomen falls in the heaviest category this model knows. Property crime accounts for over half of that, but violence and vandalism are each four times the national median — this is not a neighbourhood where only bicycles disappear.
The quiet & nature pillar is sharper still. Greenery in the immediate surroundings covers less than a third of what is usual nationally, tree canopy barely anything, surface water none at all; fewer than forty neighbourhoods in the Netherlands score lower. What the 9.8 for amenities delivers in convenience, the area pays for in air and space.

Frequently asked questions
Is Uilebomen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Uilebomen comes out at 156 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Uilebomen 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 Uilebomen?
In Uilebomen the police recorded 1,071 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (156 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 Uilebomen calculated?
Uilebomen scores 2.9 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 Uilebomen 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.
