Well-off, but not spacious

In Hoofddorp Toolenburg West less is registered than is usual nationally, and still the safety score hangs on a 5.9. The explanation lies in the composition: burglary occurs here twice as often, and after violence that is the heaviest component of that pillar. Violence itself lies exactly on the median, the two remaining types below it.

With quiet & nature what stands out is what is not going on. The noise level is on the national middle, so that is not where the 4.4 comes from. It is the density, a lower share of greenery and a thin canopy that make the figure.

The 7.9 for wealth & income leans above all on the property value, which is well above the median. In addition, social assistance and vacancy both stay below the national level, and incomes point slightly the favourable way at both ends.

How much crime is there in Hoofddorp Toolenburg West?

In Hoofddorp Toolenburg West the police recorded 180 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Toolenburg West calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Hoofddorp Toolenburg West lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
