Everything for children close by, and little room
Every house in Het Dorpshart was built after the year 2000, and that shows up in the figures in two places. More than a quarter of residents are under fifteen and over half of households have children — both far above the national share. Those two components lift the families score to 8.6, despite a primary school that is more than a kilometre away.
The second place is the quiet & nature pillar, which at 2.6 belongs to the three hundred lowest in the country. Greenery within three hundred metres stays well below the median and the tree canopy covers less than two thirds of the national share; in a neighbourhood twenty years old, trees have not yet reached that size.
Property value sits almost a fifth above the median and the share of households in the lowest income group far below it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Het Dorpshart a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Het Dorpshart comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Het Dorpshart is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Het Dorpshart?
In Het Dorpshart the police recorded 32 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Het Dorpshart calculated?
Het Dorpshart scores 7.9 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 Het Dorpshart 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.
