De Hoven
2,385 residents · postal code 6715 · Part of Ede-Veldhuizen, Ede
School close by, shops further off
In De Hoven not a single social assistance benefit is recorded, while property value is below the national median. You rarely see that combination, and it holds the wealth & income pillar at a 6.4 rather than lower.
The 5.4 for amenities comes almost entirely from two distances: supermarket and GP are both more than a kilometre away, and those are the two heaviest components of that pillar. The primary school, by contrast, is around the corner, which brings the families pillar to a 9.1.
The tree canopy in the surroundings is almost twice as generous as nationally. Yet quiet & nature stalls at a 5.6, because density is high and the noise level above the median.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Hoven a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Hoven comes out at 19 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 De Hoven?
In De Hoven the police recorded 50 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 De Hoven calculated?
De Hoven scores 7.7 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 De Hoven 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.
