Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Almost thirty kilometres to the nearest railway station is the most striking distance in Gorsingen Hoeck, and it keeps the amenities score at 6.9 while supermarket, GP and primary school are all within seven hundred metres.
The quiet & nature pillar lags at 4.7, and that does not come from noise: noise levels here are clearly below the Dutch median. It is the green in the immediate surroundings that stays under the national level, combined with density. On wealth & income most components point downwards — a property value well below the median, a social assistance rate almost four times the national one — while vacancy is actually low and the income distribution sits close to the national picture. The crime figure stays below the Dutch median; only criminal damage is slightly above it.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Gorsingen Hoeck?
In Gorsingen Hoeck the police recorded 48 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Gorsingen Hoeck calculated?
Gorsingen Hoeck scores 6.9 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 Gorsingen Hoeck 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.
