Everything for children close by, and little room
All four counted crime types in Den Hoorn lie below the Dutch middle, and theft even stays below half the national number. Such a consistent picture is exceptional; it yields a 8.3 for safety without one category carrying the score.
The odd one out is quiet, with a 4.8. That is not what you would expect in a village centre, and the reason is in the measurements: the greenery in the immediate surroundings stays below the national median, the tree canopy likewise, and the noise level lies clearly above it. Only on surface water does Den Hoorn score better than average. The rest of the picture is unambiguous, with a property value well above the national level and more than four in ten households with children.

Frequently asked questions
Is Den Hoorn a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Den Hoorn comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Den Hoorn 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 Den Hoorn?
In Den Hoorn the police recorded 175 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Den Hoorn calculated?
Den Hoorn scores 9.6 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 Den Hoorn 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.
