Everything close by, little space

Four of the five pillars in Het Ven sit below the national midpoint, and quiet & nature is the weakest at a 2.7. Less than a quarter of the surroundings is green, against more than half nationally, and the noise level is nearly seven decibels above it.

On safety, violence is the defining category: it stands at double the national median. Theft and vandalism are above it too, only burglary sits exactly at the national level. That is a different profile from the inner cities, where theft mainly drives the offence count.

Against that stands one figure that does offer something: an 8.0 for amenities. Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within a kilometre, which makes this a cheap neighbourhood where daily life is a short distance away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Het Ven a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Het Ven comes out at 38 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Het Ven 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 Het Ven?

In Het Ven the police recorded 210 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (38 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 Het Ven calculated?

Het Ven scores 3.4 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 Het Ven 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.
