Blokker - Buurt 31 04
2,180 residents · postal code 1695 · Part of Blokker, Hoorn
Everything close by, safety lags
Almost a third of Blokker's residents are 65 or over, and still there is a 9.1 for families. That score largely measures the distance to school and childcare, and the primary school here is four hundred metres away. So a high families score is no indication that many children live there.
The safety pillar is the weakest point, with three of the four categories above the national median: theft, burglary and vandalism. Only violence stays clearly below, which means the trouble here is mainly material.
The wealth & income pillar hangs in the middle with no sharp edges. The property value is slightly below the Dutch level, incomes barely deviate, there is little social assistance and vacancy is minimal. A 5.7 like that is not a composite story but a neighbourhood that on this point is simply average.

Frequently asked questions
Is Blokker - Buurt 31 04 a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Blokker - Buurt 31 04 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 Blokker - Buurt 31 04?
In Blokker - Buurt 31 04 the police recorded 77 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 Blokker - Buurt 31 04 calculated?
Blokker - Buurt 31 04 scores 8.5 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 Blokker - Buurt 31 04 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.
