Koningshoek
1,855 residents · postal code 3144 · Part of Kapelpolder, Maassluis
Everything close by, little space
Four in ten residents of Koningshoek are 65 or older, and that composition runs through the whole picture. The share of households with children is low, the families pillar stalls at 4.7 despite a primary school nine hundred metres away, and vacancy runs at more than twice the national figure.
The crime figure is more than double the national median and property crime accounts for the largest share of it. But violence here is also more than twice above the median, so this does not stop at property. The wealth & income pillar lands on 3.3, with property values far below the national median and more low incomes than usual. What stands apart from all this are the amenities: everything for daily life within six hundred metres, while the railway station is more than thirteen kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Koningshoek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Koningshoek comes out at 60 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Koningshoek 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 Koningshoek?
In Koningshoek the police recorded 165 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (60 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 Koningshoek calculated?
Koningshoek scores 3.0 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 Koningshoek 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.
