Safe, but everything is a drive away

In Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid more than half of households have children and over-65s are rare — and yet the families pillar gets no further than a 6.5. That is down to distance: the primary school is a good two kilometres away, and school distance weighs by far the heaviest in that pillar. The distances to childcare and secondary education count in it too, but are not in the table.

The same location explains the 4.7 for amenities. The nearest supermarket is three kilometres away, the restaurant slightly closer. Doing the shopping here means a car journey.

Set against that is a 9.0 for safety, and that one is unconditional: all four recorded categories lie below the Dutch figure, theft at less than half of it. Wealth too is strong at a 8.5, carried by a property value that leaves the national middle far behind.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid?

In Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid the police recorded 106 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Zuid calculated?

Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid scores 8.1 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 Toolenburg Zuid 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.
