Top 5% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, nothing that lets it down

With a 9.7, Haren-Zuidoost sits among the highest overall scores in the country, and the remarkable part is that no pillar drops below 7.1. Greenery and quiet yield an 8.3, crime sits below the national median on all four types, and the station is just over a kilometre away while the neighbourhood has the building density of a village.

The weakest spot is the families pillar, and that weakness is relative. School, supermarket and GP all stand within eight hundred metres and almost one in five residents is under fifteen — more than is usual nationally. On wealth, property values sit well above the national median and three in ten households are on a high income, though social assistance runs twice the national rate.

Frequently asked questions

Is Haren-Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Haren-Zuidoost comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Haren-Zuidoost?

In Haren-Zuidoost the police recorded 86 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Haren-Zuidoost calculated?

Haren-Zuidoost scores 9.7 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 Haren-Zuidoost 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.
