Safe streets, thinner wallets
The 8.3 for families in Huizermaat Noord comes largely from the primary school four hundred metres away — not from the number of children, which stays below the national middle while almost three in ten residents are 65 or over. Anyone reading this figure as a neighbourhood full of young families reads it wrongly; it is above all a figure about how far you have to walk.
The wealth & income pillar of 5.0 shows several different sides. The property value lies below the national median and the social assistance rate almost three times above it, but there is hardly any vacancy and the income distribution differs little from the national picture. What stands out most about this neighbourhood is the train: the nearest station is eight and a half kilometres away, and that pushes the amenities pillar down to a 6.3 while supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within seven hundred metres.

Frequently asked questions
Is Huizermaat Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Huizermaat Noord comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Huizermaat Noord is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Huizermaat Noord?
In Huizermaat Noord the police recorded 51 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Huizermaat Noord calculated?
Huizermaat Noord scores 8.3 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 Huizermaat 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.
