Good for children, with a safety question

In Hanevoet one offence type stands far out of line: burglary occurs more than four times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Property offences and vandalism sit above the national median too, violence barely. Together that produces a 3.1 for safety, the neighbourhood's lowest score.

Against it stands a 9.3 for families, carried by short distances — the primary school is four hundred metres away, supermarket and GP within seven hundred. The wealth pillar lags at 4.5, mainly on a social assistance rate almost four times the national one and property values below the national median; the share of households on a high income, by contrast, barely differs from the country's. The railway station is just over five kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hanevoet a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hanevoet comes out at 35 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 Hanevoet?

In Hanevoet the police recorded 163 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (35 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 Hanevoet calculated?

Hanevoet scores 5.5 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 Hanevoet 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.
