Safe, but everything is a drive away
Noordhoek is one of the safest places in the country, at 9.7 with all four offence types well below the national median. It is quiet too: noise is below the national middle.
And yet the quiet & nature pillar gets no further than 4.6, and that is down to one measurement most readers overlook: the tree canopy here covers less than a tenth of what counts as usual nationally, and greenery in the surrounding area is below the median as well. Quiet and green are two different things. What else is missing is the shop around the corner: supermarket and GP are more than three kilometres away, while the primary school is within five hundred metres.

Frequently asked questions
Is Noordhoek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Noordhoek comes out at 11 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Noordhoek 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 Noordhoek?
In Noordhoek the police recorded 6 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Noordhoek calculated?
Noordhoek scores 7.6 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 Noordhoek 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.
