Everything close by, little to spend
Criminal damage is the item that makes the safety score in Overig Stad Hardenberg: more than four times the national value, while violence and burglary sit only slightly above it and property crime has the largest absolute share. All four types are above the middle, which explains the 3.0 without any single type carrying it alone.
The families pillar gets no further than 3.6, and the primary school more than a kilometre and a half away is its heaviest component. That fits the population: almost forty per cent of residents are 65 or older and eight percent are under fifteen.
Wealth & income drops to 2.9 with a social assistance rate more than five times the national level and half of households in the lowest income group. Only vacancy stays at the national level. Amenities are there: the station is a kilometre away, restaurant and supermarket closer still.

Frequently asked questions
Is Overig Stad Hardenberg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Overig Stad Hardenberg comes out at 46 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Overig Stad Hardenberg 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 Overig Stad Hardenberg?
In Overig Stad Hardenberg the police recorded 138 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (46 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 Overig Stad Hardenberg calculated?
Overig Stad Hardenberg scores 3.0 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 Overig Stad Hardenberg 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.
