Good for children, with a safety question
Jagershoef shows how far a families score and a wealth score can drift apart. The 8.3 for families comes from the primary school five hundred metres away and a share of households with children above the national middle. The 3.2 for wealth & income comes from the same streets: the share of higher incomes is less than half the national figure, half of all households fall into the lowest income group, and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the median.
On safety all four types of offence sit above the Dutch middle, with theft furthest out. No component softens the picture.
The 3.4 for quiet & nature is not down to noise — sound levels are only slightly above the median — but to greenery, which stays well below it, and to density.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jagershoef a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Jagershoef comes out at 36 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Jagershoef 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 Jagershoef?
In Jagershoef the police recorded 159 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Jagershoef calculated?
Jagershoef 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 Jagershoef 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.
