Everything close by, safety lags

Kampen's social assistance rate is the figure that marks this neighbourhood most sharply: it runs at more than eight times the Dutch middle value. Yet wealth and income is not weak on every component here — the share of households in the top income group comes out just above the national middle. The 3.3 stems from property value, at two thirds of the Dutch level, and from the broad bottom income group.

The 3.2 for safety really is about the street. Violence here reaches more than twice the national middle and vandalism almost twice, while property offences stay exactly on the Dutch level. That is the reverse of a centre neighbourhood where mainly possessions disappear.

Against that stands a 6.9 for quiet and nature, with plenty of greenery within three hundred metres and a tree canopy more than twice the national level — in a neighbourhood with hardly any single-family homes.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kampen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kampen comes out at 34 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Kampen?

In Kampen the police recorded 129 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Kampen calculated?

Kampen scores 4.1 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 Kampen 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.
