Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Kamillehof's social assistance rate is at ten times the national middle. Half of households are in the lowest income group and the property value stays well below the median; only vacancy is low. That is how the wealth & income pillar comes out at 2.9.
The 4.4 for quiet & nature does not come from noise — the sound level is in fact slightly below the national median. It is about what is not there: green cover within three hundred metres stays far below the middle, as does the tree canopy, and more than six thousand people live here per square kilometre.
Against those two figures stands an 8.4 for families. The primary school is five hundred metres away, a third of households have children and there are few older residents. Two pillars about the same residents giving completely opposite figures — the difference being that one measures what is there and the other what it costs.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kamillehof a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kamillehof comes out at 40 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kamillehof is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kamillehof?
In Kamillehof the police recorded 123 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (40 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 Kamillehof calculated?
Kamillehof scores 3.4 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 Kamillehof 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.
