Everything close by, little to spend

Glinde-Hooiland has a crime rate below the national median, and yet one type stands out: burglary occurs almost three times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, while violence, vandalism and property offences all stay below it. For residents that is the one thing the average does not do justice to.

Beyond that this is a neighbourhood of short distances: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant all within six hundred metres and the railway station a kilometre and a half away, good for a 9.7 for amenities. Against it stands a 3.5 for wealth & income, with property values well below the national median, nearly half of households on a low income and a social assistance rate almost four times the national one; only vacancy sits exactly on the middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Glinde-Hooiland a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Glinde-Hooiland comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Glinde-Hooiland?

In Glinde-Hooiland the police recorded 102 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Glinde-Hooiland calculated?

Glinde-Hooiland scores 6.9 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 Glinde-Hooiland 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.
