Heipoort

Bottom 21% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little space

A 9.9 for amenities leaves almost nothing to improve, and Heipoort reaches it with a supermarket two hundred metres away and a station just over a kilometre off. The contrast with the 3.2 for safety is stark, and that score has one clear driver: violence here is more than two and a half times the national median, while property crime barely rises above it. So theft is not what makes this figure.

The wealth & income pillar does point almost everywhere the same way: low property value, few high incomes, many low ones, and benefits at more than five times the national level. Only the vacancy rate stays below the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Heipoort a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Heipoort comes out at 38 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Heipoort 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 Heipoort?

In Heipoort the police recorded 209 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (38 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 Heipoort calculated?

Heipoort scores 4.1 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 Heipoort 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.
