Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Primary school four hundred metres away, station a couple of kilometres off and almost a fifth of residents under fifteen: Rhenen Hoog scores a 9.7 for families, and that figure is carried from two sides, which is unusual. Normally such a score comes from distance alone.

Wealth is the mirror image. Property value stays far below the national middle, almost half of households fall in the lowest income group, high incomes are rare and the social assistance rate is more than five times the Dutch median. Only vacancy is low. A 3.4 for wealth & income beside a 9.7 for families: this is a neighbourhood where the facilities for children do not move with the parents' income.

Quiet & nature comes out at a 6.1, a middle position with components pulling in opposite directions. Greenery and tree canopy sit above the national middle and noise below it, but building density is high. What you get here is a green, reasonably quiet area that is at the same time solidly built up.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rhenen Hoog a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Rhenen Hoog?

In Rhenen Hoog the police recorded 42 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Rhenen Hoog calculated?

Rhenen Hoog scores 7.9 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 Rhenen Hoog 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.
