Everything for children close by, and little room

An 8.6 for families while the primary school is more than two kilometres away — that is only possible if the other part of the pillar lifts it, and here it does: more than half of households have children and nearly a quarter of residents are under fifteen. For anyone doing the school run every morning the score is more optimistic than the route.

Wealth & income stands at an 8.1 and rests on more than property value alone. The highest income group is well represented in Kilweg, the lowest thinner than nationally and the vacancy rate is minimal. Only the number of social assistance payments is slightly above the median.

The 4.7 for safety comes almost entirely from property crime, which is well above the national median; violence and vandalism barely deviate from it. What exactly goes missing the register does not say — only that it happens more often than elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kilweg a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kilweg comes out at 25 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 Kilweg?

In Kilweg the police recorded 66 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Kilweg calculated?

Kilweg scores 5.9 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 Kilweg 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.
