Good for children, with a safety question

A 9.5 for families next to a 3.3 for safety: in Hoevenseveld the neighbourhood's two extremes sit side by side. The first figure comes from the school three hundred metres away, with shop and GP round the corner too.

The second is harder to set aside. The number of reports is at almost twice the national median, violence at double, vandalism too, and property crime well above that. Only residential burglary sits exactly at the national level. Three of four categories above the median is a consistent picture, not a fluke.

The wealth & income pillar stays at 4.1 because of a property value below the median and a rate of social assistance more than twice the normal. The station, incidentally, is over fourteen kilometres away — for anyone living here without a car that is the biggest constraint, even with an 8.3 for amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoevenseveld a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoevenseveld comes out at 43 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Hoevenseveld is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Hoevenseveld?

In Hoevenseveld the police recorded 149 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (43 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 Hoevenseveld calculated?

Hoevenseveld scores 5.2 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 Hoevenseveld 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.
