Everything close by, safety lags
The total number of reported offences in Haastrecht-Dorpskern sits almost exactly on the national median, yet safety scores 4.7. The explanation lies in the mix: violence occurs here nearly twice as often as in an average neighbourhood, while property crime and vandalism stay below the median. Violence carries the most weight in that pillar, so a single deviating component pulls the score down while the total stays unremarkable. With fewer than seven hundred residents these are small numbers, too; a handful of registrations shapes the picture.
The wealth side is less clear-cut than the 7.2 suggests. Property values are above the national middle and social assistance does not show up in the figures at all, but vacancy is more than double the national level. That is the weak spot beneath an otherwise solid pillar. What the village core does deliver unmistakably is proximity: supermarket, GP, restaurant and primary school are all within walking distance.

In Haastrecht-Dorpskern the police recorded 28 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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.
