Good for children, with a safety question

Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch scores 9.7 for families and 2.8 for safety, and both figures are honestly earned. The primary school is four hundred metres away and more than four in ten households have children; at the same time the number of reported offences is more than double the national median.

That crime figure is also broad. Violence is almost twice the median, burglary more than three times and vandalism nearly three times; only property crime stays close to the national middle. So there is no single type that explains this figure away.

At 5.4 the wealth & income pillar looks ordinary, but it is an average of extremes. Property values sit exactly on the Dutch median and the share of high incomes slightly above it, while the social assistance rate comes to more than three times the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch comes out at 49 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch 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 Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch?

In Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch the police recorded 216 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (49 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 Graan voor Visch calculated?

Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch scores 6.1 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 Graan voor Visch 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.
