Everything for children close by, and little room

The primary school in Hanzewijk/Greente is three hundred metres away and many households here have children; together that produces a 9.7 for families.

Right next to it stands a 3.7 for wealth & income, and that one is not mild. Property values are well below the national median, almost half of households have a low income and social assistance sits at more than three times the median. Only vacancy is low: the homes are not empty, they are cheap.

The third figure that stands out is the 2.8 for quiet & nature, with little greenery around and a high building density. Safe it is, though — on every recorded category of offence Hanzewijk/Greente stays below the national median, and with these wealth figures that is not a given.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hanzewijk/Greente a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hanzewijk/Greente comes out at 21 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 Hanzewijk/Greente?

In Hanzewijk/Greente the police recorded 71 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Hanzewijk/Greente calculated?

Hanzewijk/Greente scores 8.1 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 Hanzewijk/Greente 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.
