Plenty of space, less prosperity

Three quarters of the surface within three hundred metres of Hoogerheide-Noord is green and the tree canopy is more than double the national median. That carries the 8.0 for quiet and nature, and this is one of the few places where such a score is not paid for with remoteness: supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre.

The safety score lags behind that, and the cause is narrow. Violence sits exactly on the national median and property crime at less than half of it, but burglary comes out at more than double — and after violence that is the heaviest-weighing component of the pillar.

The wealth pillar cannot be read in one direction. The share of high incomes is above the national middle and that of low incomes below it, while social assistance is double the median and property value stays just under. Two components up, two down.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hoogerheide-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hoogerheide-Noord comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Hoogerheide-Noord?

In Hoogerheide-Noord the police recorded 86 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Hoogerheide-Noord calculated?

Hoogerheide-Noord scores 7.9 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 Hoogerheide-Noord 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.
