Bottom 10% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little to spend

The social assistance rate in Corpus den Hoorn is roughly seven times the national median. No other component of the wealth pillar is this extreme, and together with a property value far below the national median it explains the 2.7. This is the neighbourhood's weakest pillar.

The safety score of 3.4 has a narrower cause than the total suggests. Property offences run at more than twice the median and account for over half of all recorded crime; violence is only just above it. That is the profile of a busy urban area where bikes and belongings disappear.

The 6.2 for families does not come from the population. Fifteen in a hundred households have children and six in ten people live alone; what keeps the score up is the primary school five hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Corpus den Hoorn a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Corpus den Hoorn comes out at 40 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Corpus den Hoorn 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 Corpus den Hoorn?

In Corpus den Hoorn the police recorded 245 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (40 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 Corpus den Hoorn calculated?

Corpus den Hoorn scores 3.2 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 Corpus den Hoorn 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.
