Bottom 47% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little to spend

Eleven per cent of the homes in Kruiskamp-Zuid stand empty, almost three times the national level. Together with a property value more than a quarter below the Dutch median and a share of social assistance almost six times the national one, that explains the 3.5 for wealth & income — although the income distribution itself is no worse than in the rest of the country.

The safety figure of 6.8 stands out next to it. Fewer offences are registered here than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and only violence is above the median. Amenities get a 9.4 with everything within half a kilometre. What is missing is space: half of households consist of one person and more than four in five homes are not single-family houses.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kruiskamp-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kruiskamp-Zuid 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 Kruiskamp-Zuid?

In Kruiskamp-Zuid the police recorded 53 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 Kruiskamp-Zuid calculated?

Kruiskamp-Zuid scores 6.0 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-Zuid 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.
