Everything for children close by, and little room

Kruiskamp-Noord scores 9.9 for families, which puts it among the two hundred highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the country on that count. That figure is mostly about reach: the primary school is three hundred metres away, and school distance makes up nearly two thirds of the pillar. It is not about an exceptionally child-heavy population, because the share of young children here matches the national level.

The 4.8 for wealth & income does not come from the income distribution. Both the top and the bottom income groups sit within a couple of points of the Dutch middle. What is exceptional is the social assistance rate: five to six times the national figure. That is the item pulling the pillar down, together with a property value below the median.

For residents that grates: everything is close by and it is relatively safe, but for part of the neighbourhood the financial floor is thin.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kruiskamp-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kruiskamp-Noord comes out at 23 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 Kruiskamp-Noord?

In Kruiskamp-Noord the police recorded 71 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Kruiskamp-Noord calculated?

Kruiskamp-Noord 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 Kruiskamp-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.
