Income and work.
How households in Heemskerk compare with the national income distribution (reporting year 2024).
Statistics Netherlands ranks every household in the country by income. In a neighbourhood that matched the national mix exactly, 40% of households would fall in the lowest 40% nationally and 20% in the top 20%. Income on its own says nothing about what a place is like to live in.

Safety.
Police registered 1,182 crimes in Heemskerk in 2025, 6% fewer than in 2024. That is 30.0 per 1,000 residents.
Registered crime shows what becomes known to the police, not how safe a place feels, and not every crime is reported. Town centres, shopping areas and the streets around stations have few residents but many visitors, which pushes the rate per 1,000 residents up. The categories above are a selection; the total includes every registered crime.
