4,795 residents · postal code 4741 · Part of Hoeven, Halderberge
Safe, but not spacious
Hoeven is quiet and sparsely populated, and nonetheless scores only a 5.4 for quiet & nature. The explanation lies in the greenery: both the share of greenery in the surroundings and the tree canopy stay below the Dutch middle, and there is no water of any significance. That the quiet pillar knows no village bonus is something you notice here — it is about what is measured, not about the idea of the countryside.
The 8.0 for safety rests on a low violence figure: it comes out at about a third of the national median. Only burglary happens somewhat more often than average.
Wealth and families are both average, but for different reasons. On wealth virtually everything lies at the national level and only the share on social assistance stands out; on families the school is around the corner, but few children live there and a good quarter of residents are 65 or older.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hoeven a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hoeven comes out at 20 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 Hoeven?
In Hoeven the police recorded 122 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Hoeven calculated?
Hoeven 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 Hoeven 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.
