Everything close by, little space
The lowest of the five scores in this Hoorn city-centre neighbourhood is quiet & nature, which is no surprise at almost eight thousand residents per square kilometre, no water, and a share of green below a third of the national middle. More striking is that the noise level actually stays below the median: it is densely built here, not loud.
The wealth & income pillar stalls at 5.9 even though the property value is above the national middle. That comes from the other side: social assistance is more than one and a half times the national level here and vacancy one and a half times. The income distribution itself barely differs. So this is not a poor neighbourhood, but one with edges.
A quarter of residents are 65 or older and only eight percent are under fifteen. For the families pillar that is partly made up for by the school six hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Binnenstad - Buurt 10 01 a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Binnenstad - Buurt 10 01 comes out at 32 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 Binnenstad - Buurt 10 01?
In Binnenstad - Buurt 10 01 the police recorded 122 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Binnenstad - Buurt 10 01 calculated?
Binnenstad - Buurt 10 01 scores 5.2 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 Binnenstad - Buurt 10 01 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.
