Everything for children close by, and little room
Three quarters of the surroundings of Maartensdijk Kern are green within three hundred metres, well above the national level, and yet the quiet & nature pillar stalls at 6.0. Density, noise and the complete absence of water each count for as much as that greenery, and those three pull the other way.
The families pillar, by contrast, reaches 9.3: the primary school is five hundred metres away, as are the supermarket and the GP, and a relatively large number of households here have children.
At 6.2, the wealth & income pillar is the most mixed of all. Property value is far above the national median and vacancy far below it, but the share of low incomes is larger than average and the social assistance rate almost double. An expensive neighbourhood, then, but not in every household.

Frequently asked questions
Is Maartensdijk Kern a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Maartensdijk Kern comes out at 17 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 Maartensdijk Kern?
In Maartensdijk Kern the police recorded 101 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Maartensdijk Kern calculated?
Maartensdijk Kern scores 9.0 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 Maartensdijk Kern 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.
