Safe, but not spacious

Almost the entire housing stock of Hoogeland Oost was built after 2000, and that explains both extremes at once. The 9.4 for wealth & income holds on every component — property values well above the national median, more high and fewer low incomes than average, no social assistance and almost no vacancy — while the 3.0 for quiet & nature follows directly from what such an area looks like: little greenery around and a tree canopy that still has to grow.

The 9.8 for safety is the most striking of the five. Violence runs at a fraction of the national middle, burglary below it, and theft and vandalism stay well under too. No category distorts the picture.

Amenities score a 5.7, which is not a shortfall but a middle position: supermarket, GP and school are all just over a kilometre away, far enough to take the bike.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoogeland Oost a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Hoogeland Oost?

In Hoogeland Oost the police recorded 18 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Hoogeland Oost calculated?

Hoogeland Oost scores 9.4 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 Hoogeland Oost 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.
