Spacious, but safety lags
The tree canopy of Alteveer/Cranevelt covers well over four times the national norm, and together with the abundant greenery around it that lifts the quiet & nature pillar to 8.3. It is the clearest feature this neighbourhood has, and it stands apart from the crime rate — crime does not count in that pillar.
On safety the picture turns on theft. It is above the national median and accounts for almost four in ten reports, while violence stays clearly below it. That is a profile in which possessions disappear, not one in which you watch the street at night.
One distance is missing from the convenience. Supermarket, school and restaurant are within six hundred metres, but the GP is more than two kilometres away, and after the supermarket that is the heaviest component of the amenities pillar. With almost three in ten residents over 65, that counts for more here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Alteveer/Cranevelt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Alteveer/Cranevelt comes out at 26 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 Alteveer/Cranevelt?
In Alteveer/Cranevelt the police recorded 120 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Alteveer/Cranevelt calculated?
Alteveer/Cranevelt scores 8.4 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 Alteveer/Cranevelt 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.
