Top 25% in the Netherlands

School close by, shops further off

Hoeven delivers an 8.2 overall with an amenities pillar that stalls at 4.3; access is the weak point here, not the neighbourhood itself. Supermarket and GP are almost two kilometres away, the station fifteen.

The primary school is the exception: it is five hundred metres away, and because school distance weighs heaviest in the families pillar, that comes out at 8.4. The same geography therefore produces two very different scores, depending on which destination you count.

In the crime picture, burglary stands out. That figure is a good twice above the national median, while violence, vandalism and property crime all three stay well below it. The wealth & income pillar comes out at 7.9, carried by a property value above the national median and a social assistance rate that stays under it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoeven a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoeven comes out at 18 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 Hoeven?

In Hoeven the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Hoeven calculated?

Hoeven scores 8.2 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 Hoeven 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.
