Safe, but not spacious
For Achter de Hoven the amenities pillar is missing, which means the overall score of 8.3 rests on four pillars rather than five. All distances are unknown here, so on the basis of this data nothing can be said about how easily a shop, GP or school is reached — not in the neighbourhood's favour either.
What is there is solid. The 9.1 for safety rests on fewer than half the national number of reports, with violence, property crime and vandalism all three well below the median.
The income data are missing as well: Statistics Netherlands does not publish them where there are too few households. What remains of the wealth picture is the property value, slightly below the national middle, and a rate of social assistance at median level.
The 3.6 for quiet & nature is strikingly low for a neighbourhood with little noise. It lies in the greenery and the tree canopy, both of which stay below the national level.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Achter de Hoven?
In Achter de Hoven the police recorded 24 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 Achter de Hoven calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Achter de Hoven lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
