Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

De Hoven shows how far apart two pillars can sit in the same neighbourhood. Families scores 9.6, wealth & income 3.1. The first comes from the distances: the primary school is four hundred metres away, as are the supermarket and the restaurant, and that proximity also produces the 9.4 for amenities.

The second has one dominant figure behind it. Social assistance runs at almost ten times the national median, the sharpest deviation in this neighbourhood. Alongside that, the property value stays far below the national median and nearly half of households are on a low income. Only the vacancy rate is low.

Among the offences it is mainly theft that is high, at more than one and a half times the national level; burglary, by contrast, is rare here.

Frequently asked questions

Is De Hoven a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, De Hoven comes out at 38 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: De Hoven 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 De Hoven?

In De Hoven the police recorded 35 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (38 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 De Hoven calculated?

De Hoven scores 5.4 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 De Hoven 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.
