Everything close by, little to spend
Almost seventy social assistance claims per thousand residents, against a national median of under eight: that figure sets everything about Hercules Segherslaan e.o. Property value is less than half the Dutch middle and half of all households fall in the lowest income group. Wealth & income therefore comes out at 2.7.
The safety picture leaves no way out. All four types of offence run above the national median, violence at more than double. No single category accounts for the total on its own, and so there is no reassuring explanation either.
What the neighbourhood does offer is proximity: GP, school, supermarket and restaurant are all within a kilometre, good for an 8.3 on amenities. That is the only pillar still lifting the overall score of 2.9 at all.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hercules Segherslaan e.o. a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hercules Segherslaan e.o. comes out at 45 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Hercules Segherslaan e.o. 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 Hercules Segherslaan e.o.?
In Hercules Segherslaan e.o. the police recorded 121 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (45 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 Hercules Segherslaan e.o. calculated?
Hercules Segherslaan e.o. scores 2.9 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 Hercules Segherslaan e.o. 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.
