Everything for children close by, and little room

Almost every home in Haantje was built after the turn of the century, and the figures show it. Property value is above the national median, high incomes are well represented and the social assistance rate is low. One component departs from that: vacancy here runs at more than three times the national figure. The 7.4 for wealth & income is therefore a mixed score, not an unreservedly favourable one.

The 8.6 for families comes about despite the distance, not thanks to it. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, and that is the heaviest item in the pillar. That the score still comes out high is down to the residents themselves: more than four in ten households have children and a quarter of residents are under fifteen. That is one of the youngest age profiles in the country.

On amenities the neighbourhood pays the price of the same location: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all three more than a kilometre away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Haantje a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Haantje comes out at 24 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 Haantje?

In Haantje the police recorded 80 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Haantje calculated?

Haantje scores 6.8 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 Haantje 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.
