Safe, but not spacious

Hoep-Noord earns a 9.9 for safety with offence rates below the national median on every recorded type; burglary barely occurs. That makes the overall score of 9.4 primarily a safety story.

Wealth & income is less clear-cut than the 6.6 suggests. Property value and top incomes are above the national figure and social assistance below it, but the share of low incomes and the vacancy rate sit precisely on the median — this is not a neighbourhood with a narrow bottom end. Quiet & nature is the weak spot: few trees, greenery below the median, no open water. The school is a kilometre away, which keeps the families pillar at a 7.2.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoep-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Hoep-Noord?

In Hoep-Noord the police recorded 16 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Hoep-Noord calculated?

Hoep-Noord scores 9.4 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 Hoep-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.
