Everything close by, little to spend
Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg has a hundred and sixty-five residents, of whom more than four in five households live alone. Income data is missing here: Statistics Netherlands does not publish it where there are too few households. What is there is a vacancy rate of almost four in ten homes and a property value that is a fraction of the national median — that is where the 2.5 for wealth & income comes from.
The crime figure is a multiple of the national median, with property crime the largest item. At this population size such a figure says more about the area than about its residents: reports are divided by the people who live there, not by who is present during the day.
Amenities, by contrast, scores an 8.8, with supermarket, GP and primary school within eight hundred metres. For the handful of addresses here, everything is close.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg comes out at 114 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg 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 Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg?
In Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg the police recorded 272 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (114 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 Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg calculated?
Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg scores 3.0 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 Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg 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.
