Everything close by, little space
Few places in the Netherlands are closer to everything than this neighbourhood in the Binnenstad of Hoorn: with a 10.0 for amenities it ranks among the fifty most accessible in the country. And few places show so sharply what comes with that.
The number of reported offences is seven times as high as in the median Dutch neighbourhood. Property crime accounts for most of it, but violence is more than ten times above the national middle — so this is not the picture of a neighbourhood where only belongings disappear. Only burglary hardly occurs. With fewer than a thousand residents, the underlying counts do stay small.
The population fits the centre: almost six in ten households consist of one person and only one in six has children. With a primary school round the corner that still yields a 5.9 for families — the distance keeps that figure up.

Frequently asked questions
Is Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03 a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03 comes out at 172 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03 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 Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03?
In Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03 the police recorded 383 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (172 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 03 calculated?
Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03 scores 4.6 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 03 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.
