Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Prinsenhof hoog scores a 9.5 for families and a 2.8 for wealth & income, and the two figures are about the same households. The first comes from short distances — school, supermarket and GP are all five hundred metres away — combined with a substantial share of households with children. The second comes from the property value, a thin top income group, and a social assistance rate at more than ten times the national median.

Not a single home here is single-family, and given this population that is the most concrete fact available: families with children live stacked.

The 3.8 for safety comes mainly from violence, more than twice as high as is usual nationally, and from vandalism. Burglary is below the median, the only component pointing the other way.

Frequently asked questions

Is Prinsenhof hoog a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Prinsenhof hoog comes out at 31 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Prinsenhof hoog?

In Prinsenhof hoog the police recorded 182 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Prinsenhof hoog calculated?

Prinsenhof hoog scores 4.9 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 Prinsenhof hoog 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.
