Bottom 9% in the Netherlands

Safe streets, thinner wallets

For Heiakker-West the amenities pillar is missing, which means the overall score of 3.1 rests on four pillars instead of five and not a single distance is known. The income distribution and vacancy are missing too: with too few households, Statistics Netherlands does not publish them.

The total crime figure here is below the national median, and yet safety gets no further than 5.9. That is because violence and burglary in particular are above the middle while property crime stays far below — and those first two together account for the largest part of the pillar. A low total is therefore no guarantee of a high score.

What is left of wealth & income is a property value below the national median alongside a social assistance rate at almost four times the Dutch level. For families, at 5.0, there is little to interpret: the share of children is around the national picture and the school distances are not recorded for this neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Is Heiakker-West a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Heiakker-West comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Heiakker-West?

In Heiakker-West the police recorded 43 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Heiakker-West calculated?

Heiakker-West scores 3.1 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 Heiakker-West 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.
