Bottom 11% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, safety lags

More than half the households in 't Hofke are single-person households, and the number of social assistance payments per thousand residents is more than five times the national median. With property values far below the middle and a broad bottom income group, wealth & income comes out at 3.4.

The quiet & nature pillar does better than the other figures suggest: there is more greenery around than nationally and the tree canopy is above the median. Only noise pulls the score down, to 5.3. Crime plays no part whatsoever in that pillar — it sits entirely in the safety score, and that stands at 3.1 with every category of offence above the national median.

The supermarket, the GP and the primary school are all within a kilometre, which puts amenities at 7.3.

Frequently asked questions

Is 't Hofke a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, 't Hofke comes out at 36 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 't Hofke?

In 't Hofke the police recorded 173 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 't Hofke calculated?

't Hofke scores 3.3 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 't Hofke 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.
