Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
A 9.8 for families and a 3.5 for wealth & income in the same streets. The first score holds up on both sides: the primary school is five hundred metres away and there really are many children, with more than four in ten households having them.
The second is just as unambiguous. The property value stays far below the national median, half the households fall into the lowest income group, and the number of social assistance payments per thousand residents is almost ten times the median. After property value that is the heaviest component of the pillar, so the score can hardly come out otherwise.
Safety in the Kievitlaan turns out better than the total crime figure suggests. That sits practically on the national median, but violence and property crime are both below it; only vandalism rises above.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kievitlaan a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kievitlaan comes out at 24 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 Kievitlaan?
In Kievitlaan the police recorded 48 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Kievitlaan calculated?
Kievitlaan scores 6.8 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 Kievitlaan 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.
