Safe, but not spacious

Het Hoog has a quiet & nature score of 4.2 without one clear culprit. Density, noise, greenery, tree canopy and water all sit close to the national median here, but each time on the wrong side of it; five small minuses together make a low score. There is nothing to point at that explains it.

The safety pillar does the opposite. Violence and vandalism are below the median, only burglary is slightly above, and the total comes out at just over half the national level — good for an 8.2.

The primary school is four hundred metres away, and that is the main reason families lands at 7.6. Supermarket and GP are close too; the railway station five kilometres out is what keeps amenities from going beyond 7.0.

Frequently asked questions

Is Het Hoog a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Het Hoog comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Het Hoog 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 Het Hoog?

In Het Hoog the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Het Hoog calculated?

Het Hoog scores 7.7 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 Het 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.
