Everything close by, safety lags
Hintham zuid is a neighbourhood without outliers: four of the five pillars sit between a 4.9 and a 6.7, with only amenities standing out at an 8.1. That last one comes from short distances — supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre, the station somewhat further.
Behind the middling safety figure sits one striking exception: burglary happens less here than the national norm, while theft, violence and vandalism are all three above it. The risk is outside the door, not behind it.
Wealth & income lands on a 5.0, a mixed picture. Property values and the share of high incomes are below the national median and the social assistance rate well above it, but vacancy is low and the share of low incomes exactly average.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hintham zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hintham zuid comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Hintham zuid?
In Hintham zuid the police recorded 173 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 zuid calculated?
Hintham zuid scores 6.0 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 zuid 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.
