Safe, but everything is a drive away
The quietest figure in Dorp Haaren is not among the scores but beneath them: the noise level is noticeably below the national median, and together with plenty of greenery within three hundred metres that produces the 6.7 for quiet & nature. It is the kind of difference you hear the moment you get out of the car.
The 8.1 for safety has one crack in it. Violence, property offences and vandalism are all below the national median, but burglary runs at almost three times the median. That pattern — little on the street, more at the door — disappears entirely into the neighbourhood average, and it is precisely the part a resident can do something about.
What this place costs you: the GP is two kilometres away. That pushes the amenities score down to 5.6, despite a primary school that is close by.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dorp Haaren a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Dorp Haaren comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Dorp Haaren 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 Dorp Haaren?
In Dorp Haaren the police recorded 91 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Dorp Haaren calculated?
Dorp Haaren scores 7.5 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 Dorp Haaren 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.
