Safe streets, thinner wallets
Holten-De Haar combines two things that rarely go together: a station a good kilometre away and a primary school at four hundred metres, plus a crime figure that sits below the national middle on all four measured types. That is where the high marks for amenities, families and safety come from.
The 4.5 for wealth & income stands out, and it is more nuanced than the figure suggests. Property values lag far behind the national median and more households are on a low income than average, but social assistance is actually less common here than nationally and vacancy is negligible. So this is mainly about cheap housing, not about households under strain.
That the population is strongly ageing and almost nothing was built after 2000 fits that picture: an established core whose housing stock has been the same for decades.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Holten-De Haar?
In Holten-De Haar the police recorded 21 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 Holten-De Haar calculated?
Holten-De Haar scores 8.8 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 Holten-De Haar lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
