Everything close by, little to spend

A 9.6 for amenities and a 2.6 for wealth & income: Coevorden-Centrum is a shopping centre that people also live in. All four wealth components point the same way — a property value of less than half the national median, many low incomes, few high ones, and a social assistance rate at more than six times the middle.

The crime figure is at more than double the national middle, and that comes almost entirely from property crime. Burglary in fact stays below the median, which fits a neighbourhood where daytime visitors generate the reports. This is not a place where only theft happens, though: violence is above the middle as well.

The 6.5 for families is striking in a neighbourhood where only one in eight households has children. It comes from distance: the primary school is four hundred metres away, and that distance counts for more within the pillar than the share of children.

Frequently asked questions

Is Coevorden-Centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Coevorden-Centrum comes out at 55 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Coevorden-Centrum 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 Coevorden-Centrum?

In Coevorden-Centrum the police recorded 187 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (55 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 Coevorden-Centrum calculated?

Coevorden-Centrum scores 3.7 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 Coevorden-Centrum 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.
