Everything close by, little space

Hoefstraat Zuid is below the national middle on all four crime types, and that with over eleven thousand residents per square kilometre. That 7.9 for safety is the figure deviating most from what the density would suggest.

The quiet & nature pillar does pay for that density: a 2.6, with under a quarter of the surroundings green, a tree canopy below the national share and a noise level above it. Open water is absent.

On wealth & income the picture is mixed. The share of households on a low income is virtually national and vacancy is low, but property value is substantially below the median and the social assistance rate well above it. Because property value is the heaviest component, the pillar comes out at 4.2.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoefstraat Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoefstraat Zuid comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Hoefstraat Zuid?

In Hoefstraat Zuid the police recorded 53 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Hoefstraat Zuid calculated?

Hoefstraat Zuid scores 5.8 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 Hoefstraat 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.
