Everything close by, safety lags

More than half of all reports in Hoogvenne West are property offences, at over three times the national median. But violence too is almost four times as high, and that makes the 2.6 for safety something other than a theft problem: violence weighs more in that pillar than any other type.

The 5.5 for wealth & income is the score that runs against expectation. Property value is below the median, yet the top income group is broader than the national one and the bottom group thinner — this is not a neighbourhood with a single income picture. What is unambiguously missing is greenery: less than a fifth of the surroundings within three hundred metres, against more than half nationally, and together with the density that pushes quiet & nature down to a 3.3.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoogvenne West a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoogvenne West comes out at 61 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Hoogvenne West 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 Hoogvenne West?

In Hoogvenne West the police recorded 213 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (61 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 Hoogvenne West calculated?

Hoogvenne West scores 3.5 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 Hoogvenne West 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.
