Everything close by, safety lags

All four categories of offence in Anninks-/Nijhofshoek sit above the national median, with burglary at nearly three times it. A pattern with no exception is rare, and it makes the 3.3 for safety the figure dragging the overall score down hardest.

The 4.8 for families can genuinely be put down to who lives here. The primary school is nine hundred metres away, so the heaviest component of that pillar is not the problem; what remains is a population of which nearly a third is over sixty-five and where the share of children is around two thirds of the national median. More than half of households live alone.

The GP is four hundred metres away, the station just over a kilometre — hence the 8.5 for amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Anninks-/Nijhofshoek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Anninks-/Nijhofshoek comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Anninks-/Nijhofshoek?

In Anninks-/Nijhofshoek the police recorded 82 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Anninks-/Nijhofshoek calculated?

Anninks-/Nijhofshoek scores 3.2 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 Anninks-/Nijhofshoek 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.
