Everything for children close by, and little room

All four measured offence types in Hoogdorp are below the national middle, and for property crime the gap is more than a third. That is the basis for the 8.6 for safety, and it is a broader foundation than most neighbourhoods with such a score have.

The age structure makes the families figure interesting. Almost a third of residents are 65 or older, well above the national middle, and yet the neighbourhood scores a 9.1 for families. That pillar mainly measures how far school and childcare are, and the primary school is five hundred metres away — an ageing population and a high families score do not rule each other out.

Quiet & nature is the weakest component at 5.0. Greenery in the immediate surroundings stays below the national median and traffic noise is above it, in a neighbourhood that is solidly built up with more than five thousand residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoogdorp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoogdorp comes out at 19 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 Hoogdorp?

In Hoogdorp the police recorded 38 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Hoogdorp calculated?

Hoogdorp scores 9.6 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 Hoogdorp 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.
