Safe, but few children
The weakest figure in Hintham noord is the families pillar, and the explanation lies a kilometre and a half away: that is the distance to the nearest primary school. School distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar, and no other amenity makes up for it.
The 5.4 for quiet & nature does not come from density, which is moderate here, but from noise. The measured level is more than six decibels above the national median, and on this scale that is a wide gap.
Wealth & income stands at 7.6, but the figure covers two realities. Property value and the share of high incomes are clearly above the national middle, while the rate of social assistance is close to double the median. Affluence and hardship live side by side here, and the pillar score averages that away.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hintham noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hintham noord comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Hintham noord?
In Hintham noord the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Hintham noord calculated?
Hintham noord scores 7.7 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 Hintham noord 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.
