Bedrijventerrein De Herven
340 residents · postal code 5232 · Part of Noord, 's-Hertogenbosch
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
For Bedrijventerrein De Herven the property value, the share of owner-occupied homes and the construction year are all missing. What is recorded about the residents is striking: almost eight in ten households consist of one person, one per cent has a high income, and fewer than one in twenty residents is 65 or older.
The wealth & income pillar of 5.9 therefore rests on fewer components than its full weight, and that is the main caveat when reading the figure.
Noise here is eight decibels above the national median, while the green around it sits close to the middle. Those two together produce a 6.9 for quiet & nature. Safety stands at 4.3, with property crime at more than twice the national median; with just over three hundred residents that is a handful of cases a year.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bedrijventerrein De Herven a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Bedrijventerrein De Herven comes out at 52 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Bedrijventerrein De Herven is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Bedrijventerrein De Herven?
In Bedrijventerrein De Herven the police recorded 93 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (52 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 Bedrijventerrein De Herven calculated?
Bedrijventerrein De Herven scores 4.7 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 Bedrijventerrein De Herven 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.
