Everything close by, little space

Violence in Hoofddorp Centrum Noord is more than one and a half times the national median and burglary well above it, while the total number of reports actually stays below the middle. Because violence and burglary carry the greatest weight in the safety pillar, it comes out at 5.0 — a lower figure than the total would suggest.

The wealth & income pillar is divided and the average hides it. The property value is above the national middle and the highest income group broader than nationally, but the lowest sits exactly at the national level, vacancy is above it and the social assistance rate at two and a half times the median.

Everything for the daily shop is within six hundred metres, which carries the 8.6 for amenities. The price is in the quiet & nature pillar: the noise level is more than four decibels above the national middle and greenery within three hundred metres below it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoofddorp Centrum Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoofddorp Centrum Noord comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Hoofddorp Centrum Noord?

In Hoofddorp Centrum Noord the police recorded 133 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Hoofddorp Centrum Noord calculated?

Hoofddorp Centrum Noord scores 7.2 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 Hoofddorp Centrum Noord 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.
