Safe streets, thinner wallets

The nearest restaurant is almost eight kilometres from Haaften, the station eleven. The supermarket, GP and primary school, by contrast, are all within a kilometre, and it is that combination which produces the amenities score of 5.6: the nearby everyday facilities weigh heavily, the distant places to go out drag the whole down.

The 6.0 for families cannot be put down to school distance — the primary school is seven hundred metres away. The share of households with children here is around the national level, and that component counts for a quarter. Where the childcare and secondary school lie cannot be read from these figures. On wealth & income, vacancy stands out most: it is above the national middle here, in a neighbourhood where incomes and property value also stay below the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Haaften a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Haaften comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Haaften 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 Haaften?

In Haaften the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Haaften calculated?

Haaften scores 5.9 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 Haaften 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.
