Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Social assistance in Hoornes-Oost runs at five times the national median, and together with property values far below that median and a low share of high incomes it produces a 3.4 for wealth & income. Every component points the same way; nothing here softens the picture.

That makes the contrast with safety sharp: an 8.9, with all four listed offence types below the national figure. The families pillar is high too, at 9.1, and it comes from the short distance to school — not from a young population, since the share of children here is around the national picture. Where it does pinch is quiet & nature: noise levels are well above the median and greenery within three hundred metres below it, in one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in Katwijk.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoornes-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoornes-Oost 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 Hoornes-Oost?

In Hoornes-Oost the police recorded 40 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 Hoornes-Oost calculated?

Hoornes-Oost scores 7.0 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 Hoornes-Oost 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.
