neighbourhood in Haarlemmermeer
Halfweg Omgeving
80 residents · postal code 1165 · Part of Halfweg, Haarlemmermeer
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Eighty residents, and a crime rate above one hundred per thousand: in Halfweg Omgeving that stands for a handful of reported offences. At such numbers the figure says more about the arithmetic than about the street, and that is the first thing to know about the 3.8 for safety. Property crime does make up the largest part of it.
The quiet & nature pillar is the strongest point, at 8.7. Almost three quarters of the surroundings are green and hardly anyone lives per square kilometre; only traffic noise is considerably above the national median and keeps the score off a ten.
The income data are missing — Statistics Netherlands does not publish them where there are too few households — so the wealth & income pillar leans on property value, which is far above the median, and on the vacancy rate, which is too. The primary school is more than three kilometres away, and that is where the 2.6 for families comes from.

Frequently asked questions
Is Halfweg Omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Halfweg Omgeving comes out at 108 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Halfweg Omgeving 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 Halfweg Omgeving?
In Halfweg Omgeving the police recorded 133 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (108 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 Halfweg Omgeving calculated?
Halfweg Omgeving scores 3.0 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 Halfweg Omgeving 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.
