Safe, but everything is a drive away

In Kern Ulicoten the primary school and the restaurant are three hundred metres away, and the supermarket is more than five kilometres off. That unusual combination explains why the families pillar reaches 7.7 while amenities stalls at 3.3.

School distance is almost a third of the families pillar; supermarket and GP, which here are the furthest away, do not count towards it but do count towards amenities. So two pillars are literally measuring different walking distances, and this village sits on the good side of one and the bad side of the other.

The recorded-crime rate is below the national middle, with violence at less than half of it. What does happen is predominantly property crime, though that too stays below the Dutch middle. For residents that means: safe, and a car for the groceries.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kern Ulicoten a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kern Ulicoten comes out at 20 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 Kern Ulicoten?

In Kern Ulicoten the police recorded 12 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Kern Ulicoten calculated?

Kern Ulicoten 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 Kern Ulicoten 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.
