Safe streets, thinner wallets
Nearly thirty kilometres to the nearest railway station — in Hooghen Hoeck the train is not a mode of transport but a day trip. That the amenities score still lands on a 6.9 is because the supermarket is four hundred metres away and the GP and school are also within a kilometre. In this pillar, what you do weekly weighs more than what you rarely do.
Safety, at 9.3, is the strongest figure here, and it holds up on inspection: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all lie below the national median, burglary at virtually zero.
Wealth & income is mixed, and that is no detail. The share of high incomes lies above the national middle and the share of low incomes barely above it, but social assistance is more than two and a half times the median and property value stays well below it. The latter carries almost four tenths of the pillar, and that is where the 4.4 comes from — cheap houses in a neighbourhood that is not poor in income.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hooghen Hoeck a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Hooghen Hoeck comes out at 19 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 Hooghen Hoeck?
In Hooghen Hoeck the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Hooghen Hoeck calculated?
Hooghen Hoeck scores 8.0 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 Hooghen 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.
