Everything close by, little to spend
Burglary is the only type of offence in Hengelose Es Noord that rises above the national median, and it does so at almost three times the middle. Violence is well below it, and so is theft. For a resident that is usable information: the risk here is at the front door, not on the street.
Four in ten households have children and almost a fifth of residents are under fifteen — one of the younger populations in this municipality. The primary school is a kilometre away, and that is what keeps the families pillar at 7.9 rather than higher; school distance drives nearly a third of that figure.
The 3.5 for wealth & income points the other way, and social assistance is its sharpest component: more than six times the national median. The property value lags far behind, while vacancy is minimal.

For 2025, Hengelose Es Noord comes out at 21 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 Hengelose Es Noord?
In Hengelose Es Noord the police recorded 121 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Hengelose Es Noord calculated?
Hengelose Es Noord scores 6.1 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 Hengelose Es Noord 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.
