Good for children, with a safety question

Property crime in 't Hool is at more than twice the national middle, and violence, burglary and vandalism also come out above it. With a picture like that there is little to qualify: the 3.2 for safety matches what is being recorded.

The 3.6 for quiet & nature does not come from noise. The sound level is almost exactly at the national median. What is missing is greenery — within three hundred metres it stays far below the national middle and there is no open water — with a high building density on top of that. Anyone opening a window here hears no more than average, but sees less.

On wealth & income the neighbourhood stays at 3.8. The social assistance rate stands at almost nine times the national middle, the share of low incomes well above it and the property value below; only vacancy is low here.

Frequently asked questions

Is 't Hool a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, 't Hool comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: 't Hool 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 't Hool?

In 't Hool the police recorded 125 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Hool calculated?

't Hool 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 't Hool 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.
