Safe, but not spacious

Violence, burglary and vandalism: of those three, the first two in Huibeven West are at a fraction of the national median, and that yields a 9.5 for safety. Vandalism is the exception, at over one and a half times the national median — the only offence type here that is out of step.

The 9.2 for families is misleading for anyone looking for children behind it. Twelve per cent of residents are under fifteen, below the national picture; what carries the score is the primary school three hundred metres away.

Wealth & income, at 4.4, is the weak point, and only partly deservedly so. The share of low-income households is below the national median and vacancy sits exactly on it; what pulls the score down is the property value, well over a hundred thousand below the national median, together with a rate of social assistance above the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Huibeven West a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Huibeven West comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Huibeven West?

In Huibeven West the police recorded 38 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Huibeven West calculated?

Huibeven West scores 8.7 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 Huibeven 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.
