Safe, but few children

With three hundred residents per square kilometre, Buitengebied Honselersdijk is thinly populated, and yet the quiet pillar gets no further than a 5.5. The reason: only a quarter of the surroundings counts as green on the greenery map, less than half the national median, and tree canopy is virtually absent.

The families pillar lags behind at a 4.1. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, and distance to schooling and childcare is the heaviest part of that pillar.

Wealth & income, by contrast, is in good shape: property value is well above the national median and no social assistance is recorded. Only vacancy is more than twice the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Buitengebied Honselersdijk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Buitengebied Honselersdijk comes out at 18 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 Buitengebied Honselersdijk?

In Buitengebied Honselersdijk the police recorded 64 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Buitengebied Honselersdijk calculated?

Buitengebied Honselersdijk scores 6.5 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 Buitengebied Honselersdijk 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.
