Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

More than eighteen per cent tree canopy and greenery above the national median keep the quiet & nature pillar of Hoogwerf-Noord at 7.0, which is remarkable at almost nine thousand residents per square kilometre. The trees do the work the space cannot.

The safety pillar falls the other way. Violence is more than twice above the median and burglary more than three times, while property crime and vandalism stay below. A 4.0, then, coming from the two categories that weigh heaviest.

The social assistance rate, at more than six times the national middle, is the most deviant number in this neighbourhood and pulls the wealth & income pillar down to 3.2, together with a property value well below the median. Vacancy, by contrast, is low. For families the score is 9.3, carried by school, supermarket and GP within eight hundred metres.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoogwerf-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoogwerf-Noord comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Hoogwerf-Noord?

In Hoogwerf-Noord the police recorded 63 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Hoogwerf-Noord calculated?

Hoogwerf-Noord scores 5.6 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 Hoogwerf-Noord 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.
