Centrum-Goor
3,195 residents · postal code 7471 · Part of Goor, Hof van Twente
Everything close by, little to spend
Everything within walking distance, the station included: Centrum-Goor scores a 9.1 for amenities because shop, GP, restaurant and train are all within a kilometre. In a municipality of this size that last one is exceptional; most village centres pay for their quiet with half an hour's drive to the railway.
The flip side sits in the other columns. The number of reported offences runs at almost twice the national middle, with violence and property crime both above the median — a pattern common in centres, where far more people come than live.
The 3.2 for wealth & income has one exception and no more. Property value is far below the national middle, high incomes are scarce, low incomes amply present and the rate of social assistance a multiple of the median; only vacancy sits exactly at the national level.

Frequently asked questions
Is Centrum-Goor a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Centrum-Goor comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Centrum-Goor 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 Centrum-Goor?
In Centrum-Goor the police recorded 192 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Centrum-Goor calculated?
Centrum-Goor scores 3.3 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 Centrum-Goor 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.
