Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A primary school three hundred metres away and almost half of households with children: that gives Kadegriend en Overgriend a 9.9 for families, a place at the very top among Dutch neighbourhoods.

The wealth & income pillar lags far behind at a 4.6. The social assistance rate is well above the national middle and property value below it; only vacancy is zero. Both figures are about the same streets, and together they say something neither says alone: many children here grow up in households on a tight budget.

The quiet & nature pillar reaches an 8.4 thanks to plenty of greenery and little noise, and the number of reported offences is below the national middle, with burglary the only type coming slightly above it.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Kadegriend en Overgriend comes out at 21 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 Kadegriend en Overgriend?

In Kadegriend en Overgriend the police recorded 11 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Kadegriend en Overgriend calculated?

Kadegriend en Overgriend scores 8.9 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 Kadegriend en Overgriend 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.
