Everything close by, little space
De Noord in Huizen scores at or above the middle on four of the five pillars, and the exception is quiet & nature: a 3.7. That comes from greenery within three hundred metres staying below the national median and traffic noise sitting above it — not from the buildings, since a quarter of the homes are not family houses.
The safety figures show one deviation the total conceals. Reported offences are below the Dutch middle and violence, theft and vandalism are all under it, but burglary is well above. Living here means dealing with your own front door rather than the street.
The 7.0 for wealth & income is broadly carried: a property value well above the median, more higher incomes than nationally, fewer lower ones, and a social assistance rate that still comes out above the middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Noord comes out at 19 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 De Noord?
In De Noord the police recorded 106 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 De Noord calculated?
De Noord scores 7.1 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 De 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.
