Everything close by, little to spend

All four offence types in the Hertogenwijk sit above the national median, vandalism most of all: nearly three times the median. That is a different kind of problem from theft — vandalism happens in public space and is visible to anyone walking past, including people who never report anything themselves.

The 9.8 for amenities is among the highest in the country: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within half a kilometre. That proximity changes nothing about the wealth & income pillar, which stalls at 2.9. The share of people on social assistance there is seven times the national figure and the top income group covers a fraction of what is usual nationally; property values follow the same pattern. A central neighbourhood with everything round the corner is not an expensive one here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hertogenwijk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hertogenwijk comes out at 39 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Hertogenwijk 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 Hertogenwijk?

In Hertogenwijk the police recorded 118 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (39 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 Hertogenwijk calculated?

Hertogenwijk scores 4.9 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 Hertogenwijk 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.
