Everything for children close by, and little room
One pillar in Hoogvonderen differs sharply from the rest, and it is not the one you would expect from a run of figures like this. Families stands at 9.3 while no other component rises above 5.3.
That gap lies in what the pillar measures. Almost two thirds of it is distance to schools and childcare, and the primary school here is around the corner. The shopping is not: supermarket and GP are both a good kilometre and a half away, and that is what holds the amenities score down. Children walk to school; their parents drive for a carton of milk.
The number of recorded offences sits almost exactly on the national middle, but the mix does not. Property crime stays below it, while violence, burglary and vandalism all lie above — and those three carry the most weight in this model. An average total can hide a decidedly unaverage neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hoogvonderen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hoogvonderen 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 Hoogvonderen?
In Hoogvonderen the police recorded 89 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 Hoogvonderen calculated?
Hoogvonderen scores 4.3 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 Hoogvonderen 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.
