Safe, but not spacious

Every home in Hoofddorp Floriande West was built after 2000. The tree canopy here does not reach the national share, while there is in fact plenty of water and the greenery comes out at the national median value; together with a noise level above the middle that keeps quiet at a 4.6 — the only moderate figure in an otherwise strong profile.

The 8.7 for safety deserves a caveat. Burglary here occurs at a fraction of the national level and theft at less than half, but violence is just above the national middle, and violence is the component that counts heaviest in that pillar. So this is not a neighbourhood where every measured type of offence stays below the norm. Amenities lag behind at a 5.8: the station is almost seven kilometres away and the supermarket a good kilometre.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoofddorp Floriande West a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Hoofddorp Floriande West?

In Hoofddorp Floriande West the police recorded 189 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Floriande West calculated?

Hoofddorp Floriande West scores 9.0 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 Hoofddorp Floriande West 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.
